Widespread showers and thunderstorms, some severe, may produce heavy downpours and flash flooding across much of the eastern and central U.S. Dangerous heat will continue in the Pacific Northwest and expand across portions of the East.

The National Weather Service in Louisville utilizes area webcams to monitor weather conditions from the ground level looking up. They give an added perspective from the typical radar and satellite images that reveal data from above. These images are useful for many meteorological reasons, including determining precipitation type and intensity, estimating visibilities, and watching how clouds develop over time. Currently the NWS monitors about 175 webcams across southern Indiana and central Kentucky, but we are always on the lookout for more, especially in areas that are not well covered by automated weather instruments. If you own an outdoor webcam that you would be willing to let us know about, please send an e-mail to the webmaster. The program pictured below is one used to monitor these webcams in a time lapse fashion. The image is courtesy of the National Park Service.
