Tropical Storm Bill; Webcam Ready To Go Live Today

I’ve been immersed in a move all weekend, and come back to work to find that a tropical storm named after me is hitting the U.S. today. Check out the National Hurricane Center. More on Bill (the storm) here. Check out radars and cams in New Orleans, Lafayette and Mobile. Here’s a nice hurricane tracker. Many other links are in the right column of the National page.

The new WXnation webcam view from north Fort Worth went live around 6 p.m. today. It looks out the window at WXnation’s headquarters, now in north Fort Worth. It’s pointed ENE, and looks at the skies over Keller, Southlake and Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport. Archives of the old Arlington and Fort Worth skyline webcams are still linked below the image.

Record Hailstone Hits NE; WXnation Webcam On The Move!

Record hailstone lands in Nebraska — six and a half inches wide with a circumference was 17 and three-eighths inches!

After exactly 30 weeks, the WXnation.com Webcam from Arlington, TX went offline at 4:20 CT today. It was the only live webcam (besides traffic cams) in Arlington (that we know of), and updated at least once every 30 or 60 seconds 24/7 since Nov. 27, 2002. Many, many great captures are broken down by month at the webcam archive page, which includes a great lightning strike shot. The webcam moves to WXnation’s new home in north Fort Worth in about a week. Look for a new view pointed to the northeast … toward Keller, TX and north of DFW International Airport.

Summer’s Here; Longest Day Of The Year; Storm Injures 21; Storms In N. Plains

Summer is here! Was Saturday a long day for you? Maybe because it’s the longest day of the year! It was a long one for me: My wife and I went to a $50,000 giveaway at a storage place in Keller, TX. Didn’t win anything, so we went out searching for a good bedroom set, spoke to our homebuilder (we’re days away from closing on our house), and caught the Texas Rangers/Houston Astros game. The Rangers played poorly until we left at the end of 7, and then they hit 2 homers. They still lost, but maybe me seeing them is a jinx… Naah, they just need pitching!

Back to weather! Storm injures 21 in Japan

Here comes the heat in North Texas.

But … Some ask, ‘Will the weather ever catch up to summer?’

Stormy northern Plains, Corn Belt

On a website note, I removed the voting from the Super Sites page. The votes in the Top Cams page run from Nov. 2002 to June 2003. They are accurate, but were getting to time consuming to maintain, plus the removal of the “Vote” buttons on the Super Sites page reduces its download time considerably.
