What a great combo aviation and thunderstorms!
Back in May 2023 Scott Air Force Base, in Illinois, hosted their first airshow in many many years it was interrupted by a line of thunderstorms, passing through which canceled the rest of the day

Need help finding old weather map. Noaa map
A while back I used to search for NOAA large animated map. It would take me to a large animated map of the US with animations for cloud cover.
Anything similar like that?

Why is it suddenly getting warmer, and overnight?
Evening all, I’m based in south east England and curious what actually happens to make the temperature act like this. It’s currently -3C, tomorrow it’ll be -1 overnight +6 in the day, the day after it goes to 10C in the day and carries on getting warmer overnight up to 14 or so.
How can it be quite cold then go quite warm so suddenly? And continue getting warmer overnight?

Weird sighting over Oroville airport
Why does the radar show the weather splaying out from a center point over Oroville, CA?

100+ wave buoys were airdropped ahead of hurricanes including Helene, Milton, and Francine to make extreme weather observations (70ft+ waves!). This data is being used to improve storm predictions & protect coastal communities.

Very close Lightning Strike with no Thunder?
A storm began a few hours ago with rain and winds. Suddenly, my boyfriend and I heard this loud, almost crackling “whoosh” sound accompanied by extremely bright lightning in very close proximity, it appeared to strike less than 50 yards away. We both expected immediate, booming thunder but none occurred. No other lightning occurred after that single, thunder-less strike. What happened to the thunder??

Why is Miami's 1977 snow not recorded in the NWS?
I mean it was all over the newspapers but its not even listed as a trace in the official government website.
I understand the disputed 2010 Kendall flurries (which I 100% believe even if I didnt see them) but the 1977 snow shower was 100% documented.

How do we know the central pressure of off-shore cyclones?
Sorry if this is a total noob question, but the gnarly cyclonic system set to hit the West Coast over the next couple days got me to thinking - how do meteorologists know the central pressure of these systems? I'm assuming there are no Hurricane Hunter-type aircraft flying into the centre of such storms, so how would we know (and track change in) the pressure?
