Here are a pair of weather cameras outside the National Weather Service offices that, once again, miss the mark. They show more of the of the building, sidewalk and parking lot than the sky.
Improvement is needed as they are a bit boring, even if there is a storm coming.
This isn't really an inspiring shot, and offers little that distinguishes Bismarck from other, similarly sized towns with the exception of the occasional shot of the state capital in the picture. It's looking down a street from a camera atop the historic Patterson Hotel in the city's downtown and offers a nice slice of the sky. In all, worth because of the top-notch camera quality. Three thumbnail shots that can be expanded are at least 80 percent of the sky and draw some interest, even to get the panorama feel of the state. Here's our second shot of this border town, and it' s nicer than the first, although still a weather camera shot dominated by the sky.
