Central Current surface data Surface features such as temperatures, dew points, pressure, pressure change, SPC RUC-2 interactive map, and all of the severe weather indicies can be found here, many in grapic form and text form. View the loop section in the right column to see them in motion. A feature that shows up really well in enhanced satellite imagery is over-shooting thunderstorm tops. View the loop section in the right column to see them in motion. Zoomed in over a particular city, water vapor satellite imagery allows you to sample the moisture in the middle layers of the atmosphere.
Dark areas are locations that are dry, and the brighter areas show where the moisture is located.
View current weather watches and warnings, and monitor the Storm Prediction Center for convective outlooks as well as mesoscale discussions. Experimental products for tornadoes, severe thunderstorm winds, and hail is also available. This is a great site that is initialized once daily at 00Z and goes out 48 hours. Under surface parameters you can find wind vectors, dewpoint, and convective precipitation. Under the severe parameter section you can find helicity, cape, brnshr, and tornado potential maps.
