Just googled for Google earth weather but there are so many...... Anyone have some favorites, or any other interesting overlays out there?

Do you mean the web page or the placemarks? Page opens fine on my laptop using firefox, placemarks open using google earth.

If the placemarks dont auto-launch, download them (e.g. to your desktop), then open them from within google earth by pointing at the resulting file (KML/Z).
