If a triangle is shown in this field, it indicates NEXRAD detection of a possible tornadic cell this tornado may or may not be on the ground, (this "detection" is called the tornado vortex signature)
Define Mesocyclone: A mesocyclone is a vortex of air, approximately 2 to 10 km in diameter (the mesoscale of meteorology), within a convective storm. That is, it is air that rises and rotates around a vertical axis, usually in the same direction as low pressure systems in a given hemisphere. They are most often cyclonic, that is, associated with a localized low-pressure region within a severe thunderstorm. Such storms can feature strong surface winds and severe hail. Mesocyclones often occur together with updrafts in supercells, where tornadoes may form. Mesocyclones are believed to form when strong changes of wind speed and/or direction with height ("wind shear") sets parts of the lower part of the atmosphere spinning in invisible tube-like rolls. The convective updraft of a thunderstorm is then thought to draw up this spinning air, tilting the rolls' orientation upward (from parallel to the ground to perpendicular) and causing the entire updraft to rotate as a vertical column. Mesocyclones are normally relatively localized: they lie between the synoptic scale (hundreds of kilometers) and small scale (hundreds of meters). Radar imagery is used to identify these features. An area of vertical atmospheric rotation in supercell thunderstorms, which signals the threat of a possible tornado.
If a yellow-filled square appears, the storm has a good chance of containing large hail. Click the above map to find out.
WARNING:IF ANY OF THESE SIGNATURES APPEARS ON THE ABOVE RADAR, SEEK SHELTER IMEDIATLY, INSIDE A STUDEY STRUCTURE, STAY AWAY FROM WINDOWS, AND DO NOT GO OUT IN THE STORM. IF A TORNADIC OR MESOCYCLONIC ICON APPEARS NEAR YOUR LOCATION SEEK SHELTER WITHIN A BASEMENT, IF A BASEMENT IS NOT AVAILABLE SEEK SHELTER IN THE INNER MOST PART OF THE STRUCTURE (AN INTERIOR BATHROOM OR BEDROOM WITH THE LEAST AMOUNT OF WINDOWS AND PUTS THE MOST WALL BETWEEN YOU AND THE STORM), IF YOU ARE IN A MOBILE HOME, OR AUTOMOBILE ABANDON THEM AND SEEK SHELTER IN A STURDY STRUCTURE (TYPICALLY A STORM SHELTER), DO NOT SEEK SHELTER UNDER HIGHWAY OVERPASSES THIS OFFERS NO PROTECTION WHATSOEVER; YOUR CAR ALSO DOESN’T PROVIDE PROTECTION. IF A STRUCTURE IS NOT AVAILABLE LYE FLAT IN A RAVINE OR LOW DITCH, COVERING YOUR HEAD AND NECK. AS WITH ANY STORM STAY AWAY FROM WINDOWS AND TREE'S AVOID GOING OUTSIDE TILL THE DANGER HAS PAST. FLASH FLOODING CAN OCCUR WITHOUT WARNING FROM A HEAVY THUNDERSTORM, AND THE THUNDERSTORM DOESN'T HAVE TO BE OVER YOU TO CAUSE FLASH FLOODING DOWNSTREAM. DO NOT WALK THRU MOVING WATER. SIX INCHES OF MOVING WATER CAN MAKE YOU FALL. IF YOU HAVE TO WALK IN WATER, WALK WHERE THE WATER IS NOT MOVING. USE A STICK TO CHECK THE FIRMNESS OF THE GROUND IN FRONT OF YOU. DO NOT DRIVE INTO FLOODED AREAS. IF FLOODWATERS RISE AROUND YOUR CAR, ABANDON YOUR CAR AND MOVE TO HIGHER GROUND IF YOU CAN DO SO SAFELY. YOU AND YOUR VEHICLE CAN BE QUICKLY SWEPT AWAY. DO NOT COME OUT OF YOUR SAFE PLACE UNTILL THE ALL CLEAR HAS SOUNDED OR SUFFICIENT TIME HAS PASSED FOR THE STORM TO COMPLETELY HAVE PASSED, ALWAYS KEEP A NOAA RADIO WITH FRESH BATTERIES, AND OR A RADIO TUNED TO LOCAL CHANNELS HANDY TO LISTEN IN ON NEWS REPORTS INCASE THE ALL CLEAR SIRENS WERE TAKEN DOWN OR DAMAGED IN THE STORM. THOSE WHO HEED THESE WARNINGS WILL TELL YOU IT WILL SAVE YOUR LIFE. THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS BEING TOO PREPARED.

WEATHER UPDATE SCHEDULE:
This weather station is connected directly to the internet, updates occur every 3 seconds for the live applets, and every 1 minute for the rest of the page. Please check the web page often or press refresh on your browser for the latest conditions, also you may leave this page open it is equipped with an auto-refresh, which occurs every few minutes from the time of load. However during storms, severe weather, please login, look at what you want then log out, it would be greatly appreciated due to the immediate user level load factor. This station is operational 24 Hrs a day, sometimes updates are missed due to programming changes, but no changes shall take place during an active warning or severe weather event (unless emergency steps are required). Updates to the programming shall occur on non-event weather days.
NOTE: PRECIPITATION OFFSET
During the Winter Months, precipitation amounts may be off due to freezing conditions, and or the rain gauge fills with snow and it doesn't melt till a later time. So be patient eventually all rain information will correct itself. Also the humidity and dew point may be off due to the extreme temperature changes we experience in this location, the sensor gets covered with frost due to high humidity and extreme low temps and stops reading totally. The temperature/humidity sensor since it is 90% exposed, is vulnerable to these conditions. The temperature reads accurately. As the temperatures approaches up to the freezing point the sensors become operational. Sorry for this, there isn’t much I can do about Mother Nature when she decides to freeze something. Also Mother Nature in her cruel irony, has decided to give us lots of ice from time to time, so I have found out the anemometer (wind gauge/wind direction) can get ice covered/snow covered and also stops reading, argh got to love it? NOT! Also of note, measurements from this weather station are done on a tilt bucket rain gauge, do not be fooled by anyone that says they aren't accurate, they as they are just as accurate as any rain gauge currently available, don't be fooled by these advertisements about this rain gauge is better than that one, It’s just hype, so even that little cheapy you get at the local farm market is 99.99% as accurate as the professional gauges. They all measure rainfall, also note that even a rain gauge 10 feet away from yours could measure a different amount of precipitation simply because precipitation does not nor has it ever fallen 100% evenly over any given area on this planet, so don’t fall for anyone yanking your leg. If someone says they are better than the rest, ha ha they are "all wet!"
NOTE: MEASURE SNOWFALL PROPERLY
Measuring snowfall by "inches" is very dependent on the density of the snow, and the freeze thaw cycle compounds the uncertainty, and of course drifting has a big effect. The rough rule of thumb is that the ratio of snow to water is a 10 to 1 Ratio. Simply 10 inches of snow = 1 inch of liquid precipitation. You can use a ruler to measure snowfall as it comes down, but the complication behind that is simple, snow melts on impact with warmer ground till the ground cools down, therefore the total will be off. This station uses a liquid measuring system, as the snow falls into the rain gauge it is melted by a low-level heat source, and it measured as liquid precipitation. Also certain times the temperature is so cold that even the low level heat source does not melt it right away. Since snow is of different densities, and different moisture contents when it falls, liquid measurements are the only truly accurate representation of total true amount of snow that has fallen, even though there may seem to be much more on the ground then the rain gauge says there is. For example, a storm in late February 2004 dropped 24.1 inches of ruler measured snowfall on us, but once liquefied it measured just a little over an inch of liquid precipitation. Does that mean we only got 10 inches, no, but one thing it does prove, measuring with a stick, and measuring with a rain gauge are two very different means by which to do it. Doesn't make shoveling it any less of a headache, nor driving in it any less hazardous. Just remember perceptions of snow, and actualities of snowfall are very different. Just because it looks like a lot, doesn't mean there is a lot. Also of note: This varies with different kinds of snow, and some snows are characterized as "wet snows," and some as "dry snows." The water equivalent of wet snows may be as low as 6 or 8 to 1. This means 6 inches of snow equals one inch of liquid. A dry snow may have a ratio of 20 to 1, or even as high as 50 to 1 in very cold arctic regions. This means it would take 50 inches of snow to equal one inch of liquid. So you decide it's all a matter of perception, and precipitation.

You can also get weather from NOAA Weather Radio on Station :
TERRY PEAK near Lead, SD: WXL-23 on 162.525 MHz serves the Northern Black Hills :

NOAA Live Weather Radio WXL-23 NOAA/NWS Rapid City/Lead, South Dakota is provided by the National Weather Service in Rapid City, South Dakota, and is only re-broadcast by The Tmax Weather Center Station. Tmax Weather Center has no control over maintenance, downtime, personnel or complaints towards NOAA or NWS, if you have a complaint to file please follow this address related to the weather radio. NWR Transmitter Problems and file your complaint there. The automated contact number is just that automated. If you contact Tmax Weather Center we will do our best to forward those emails but no guarantees. Tmax Weather Center will cease carrying this signal on January 1, 2012. This is mainly due to the constant static and interference from an underpowered machine, and lack of support in either upgrading the equipment or giving the signal a bit of a boost. WXL23 on Terry Peak boasts 300watts of transmit power, however that doesn't even get it to me 13.7 miles away. I can transmit around the world on 1watt given the right equipment. Other stations have either 700 or 1000 watt transmitters, and man can you hear those babies and it's usually over top of the station you want to hear due to frequency bleeding from the more powerful station. I can listen to weather in 2 other states because of it and I consider that a threat to me and to my family and neighborhoods and will discontinue to be a part of a system that propagates a signal that is nothing more than static on a bandwidth. 90% of the time you can't even hear the signal from WXL23. I cannot afford larger receivers nor larger un-attractive antenna's. So I am telling you all now, you need to get a weather radio for your personal use however I can make no guarantee to its effective use based on the information I have provided here because of the signal issue and lack of interest in proper broadcasting.
If you have general complaints, or would like to contact them goto NOAA/NWS Contact
If you would like to write NOAA/NWS and you can even write them for non-complaints or just to ask a question. If you have a complaint, or problem regarding a local office I suggest you contact the Primary NOAA office at the US Department of Commerce, as local offices (but not all offices) are not generally helpful in answering your complaints.

WHY THE PERSONAL WEATHER STATION
In recent years Mother Nature has dealt a rather nasty hand on many occasion. The PWS or Personal Weather Station is coming into its own now and it’s growing daily. There are more stations coming online every day, that are covering in places not already covered by the NOAA’s National Weather Service, or the USDA, even the USGS whom at this point seem to be outpaced by Mother Nature. Our little PWS’s fits the bill in areas or lack of interest in an area to a Tee! We tend to cover where they won't, or we cover an area they cover simply because we do not trust the forecast they give. We are private citizens with the time, energy, resource and location to put up our own little monitoring stations. A meteorologist is a specialist and or person who studies processes in the earth's atmosphere that cause weather conditions. You can look up the many definitions for it on the World Wide Web. We do not have to do this job we are doing; we don’t and aren’t required to do so by law, and usually no one asks us to do it either. These stations are not cheap, so we don’t take this as lightly as some may think. I have been in consistent operation since December of 2002, and have not had downtime, with a few small exceptions like software updates, or hardware crashes, or unavoidable situations, but my data is solid, accurate because I have a friend of mine from MIT calibrate them, believe me they are dead on accurate. He does it every January! So I dispute anyone that would say my data is incorrect. I have been monitoring weather since I was a kid. I have watched it from more perspectives then just a professional standpoint. I was a farmer’s son, I watched my father predict the weather just by the feel of the air outside. It was fascinating to see. For years I thought he was just guessing, but after years and years and years of accuracy and me watching, he was 99% accurate out to about 3 days. Simply based on temperatures, the barometric pressure, and how damp it was he could give 72 hrs worth of useful forecast. It doesn’t take a trained spotter, an employee of the NWS or member of a government or political agency, nor does it take anyone other than the average "Joe" citizen to simply go outside and look up, to tell you what the weather is, being trained in no way makes you qualified, nor does not being trained make you qualified, and quite often the so called “unqualified” of "us" has more skill sets then we know what to do with. Welcome to the Tmax Weather Center Operations Headquarters, Spearfish, SD 57783/57799 and if you have any questions related to weather, you can contact me and I will do my best to answer them for you, or direct you to those that can. I may not be an "expert", but at least there are some things I will guarantee you, NO BS, I have an open mind, and I will give you no rude attitudes! Like it or not "Mother Nature" we are here to stay!

Notice To Viewers
2011 the worst Tornado Season ever, our thoughts go out to those who have been lost, and those who lost someone. Please, Please pay attention to the weather around you, it can change in less then 5 minutes from sunny to twister, if you see bad weather coming seek shelter, if you hear the sirens get into a basement, low ditch, or storm cellar, do not remain outdoors. Flying debris, large hail, unexpected high winds, and lightning or flash flooding can get you with little or no notice. Be mindful that flooding can occur even 24 to 48 hrs after a storm. Lightning can strike up to 10 miles in any direction of the main storm cell. Hail will kill you it's moving at 100+ mph... High winds can blow your vehicle off the road, knock over structures your in or around, so seek sturdy shelter.Stay away from windows, or any glass, get into a room with as much distance between you and the outside walls as possible. Do not take a shower, bath or wash your hands during a thunderstorm, do not talk on a phone that has a chord to the earpiece. Do not stand under large structures of metal or tree's, and if your playing golf get the hell off the course. Do not emerge from your safe place till the all clear sounds or the sounds of the storm have diminished, it takes longer then 5 minutes for a storm to pass so stay put for no less then 30 to 45 minutes.Get a NOAA weather radio with audio/visual alert systems, and make sure it has battery backup. Keep a radio, and enough supplies for 72 hrs in your safe zone for each person there. When your told to get out,get out, don't think your going to live thru it everytime. Your not going too! Follow law enformcent and or emergency personel requests, advice, and or commands. If you want to help, follow orders of the incident commander or the person in charge. DO NOT BREAK THE LAW! If you have none of the above shelters,get into the bathtub, cover yourself with as much protection as possible, make sure its a central room if possible. If it has doors close and lock those doors if possible, and as above avoid windows. If you are thrown, tossed or otherwise, curl into a ball and protect head and neck.If you are in a high rise building or buildings with more then 1 floor, head for the center of the building. If you are caught outside get inside. Do not go outside right away after the storm falling glass and building materials may fall on you causing serious injury.Serving Spearfish, and Surrounding Communities, With Fast, Accurate and Up To Date Weather Data.
