Weather Maps

Checking the weather at weather.com is nothing new or groundbreaking, but recently the rain has been coming in downpours that seem hard to predict... until I saw this weather map!

It keeps updating with the next 5 minutes of data shortly after it has happened and shows you what might be moving your way on the horizon.  It does a hell of a lot better than their hourly projections which just give % chance of rain but no real indicator of what's imminent.  I now know that I can walk home in safety because there's no downpours on the horizon, unlike the major flood that happened just minutes ago.  Technology just keeps getting better.
