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.

Overnight into Sunday the weather is changing with a mix of clear and cloudy skies and a chance of showers. On Sunday morning rainfall becomes more steady as more clouds move in. For the afternoon clear skies prevail. It is a sunny day. With 60% probability of precipitation we are at the upper end of a moderate chance. Temperature highs are likely to reach 73 °F. With a UV-Index as high as 7 make sure to properly protect your skin. Night and day expect a moderate breeze (12 to 18 mph). From time to time gusts could reach up to 29 mph. Winds blowing from Northwest. The weather forecast for Stanardsville for Sunday can be accurate in parts but deviations are expected. Check again for latest updates.

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 Stanardsville. 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.
