Modelling a city's climate is harder than it looks – and this webinar shows exactly why that matters.
Terrain is one of the quiet architects of weather. Even when the larger weather pattern is set by fronts, pressure systems and the jet stream, hills, valleys and mountain ranges can decide where clouds form, where rain falls, where wind accelerates and where cold air lingers long after sunrise.

Night and day a few clouds are expected. It is a sunny day. A very high chance of Precipitation near 90% is forecast. Temperature highs are likely to reach 83 °F. Overnight into Friday a gentle breeze is expected (8 to 12 mph). Early in the day expect a moderate breeze (12 to 18 mph). Friday afternoon blows a fresh breeze (18 to 25 mph). Gusts to 32 mph are possible. Winds blowing overnight from Southeast and by day from South. The weather forecast for Crest Hill for Friday can be accurate in parts but deviations are expected. Check again for latest updates.
Pressure: 1009 hPa

By comparing today's temperatures to 40 years of historical data we can see whether today's forecast is unusually warm (red areas) or cold (blue areas). Coloured dots show observed actual temperatures from professional and private weather stations.
The location marker is placed on Crest Hill. This animation shows the precipitation radar for the selected time range, as well as a 1h forecast. Orange crosses indicate lightning. Data provided by nowcast.de (available in USA, Europe, Australia). Drizzle or light snow fall might be invisible for the radar. Precipitation intensity is colour coded, ranging from turquoise to red.

The real-time satellite image combines visible light during daytime with infrared radiation during nighttime. At night, the image is not dark as infrared radiation can detect temperature differences. Unfortunately, low clouds and fog are difficult to distinguish from ground temperatures and thus can be almost invisible during the night. Meteosat satellite images for Europe are updated in real-time every 5 minutes. GOES-16/GOES-17 (North & South America) and Himawari (Asia) images update every 10 minutes.
Precipitation is estimated from radar and satellites. Precipitation estimates from satellites are less accurate at night than during daytime.
