Editorial interest 77/100 Selection signal · not a rating of the site

A just-for-fun weather page by Jeremy and Grant, with South Dakota alerts, radar, and a gallery for chase photos and videos.

Landing page captured for the 2026-11-01 issue.

For: South Dakota weather watchers and storm-chasing fans
Worth noticing: Its radar shows the past hour, then extrapolates one hour ahead, fading the estimate because storms can change.

Field notes

The weather panel attributes alerts, conditions, and forecasts to NWS Sioux Falls through api.weather.gov. Radar uses the last hour from RainViewer and projects the next hour by extending recent storm movement; the page says it falls back to steering winds from Open-Meteo when nearby rain is insufficient. It says location remains in the visitor's browser, while the photo and video upload control is explicitly marked as coming soon.
