[californiadisasters] Monitor The Monsoon Via Webcam/Sat/Radar/Etc.



As I type this the monsoon is surging into Southern and Eastern California. There are four particularly great webcams or webcam galleries I recommend for remote monitoring of this weather phenomenon:

Mount Wilson Towercam: http://obs.astro.ucla.edu/towercam.htm#imagetop

Owens Lake Dustcams: http://www.gbuapcd.org/dustcam.htm

Sierra Firecams: http://sierrafire.cr.usgs.gov/swfrs/pages/WebCam.htm

UCSD HPWREN webcams: http://hpwren.ucsd.edu/cameras/


For satellite imagery nothing beats this:

Here is your radar round-down:

Then there are the lightning trackers:
