For weather radar, I use WeatherScope, freeware for Windows. They
stopped developing it, but it still works great after you set it up.

I find the expanding circles annoying.
For Europe I use this:

shows rain too and where it moves.

That's cool.

This could affect some peoples' plans too, especially golfers.

It's 34.5 F at the cabin this instant, according to the RTD outside.

A few years ago, we had an outright blizzard in Truckee on Memorial
Day.

Thanks. With a storm this severe, I would expect the cloud tops to be above
60,000 feet, which is higher that airplanes can fly. If you look at
flightradar24, you can sometimes see areas where no planes are flying. But
in this case, I don't know enough about US geography to tell. You can check
at

https://www.flightradar24.com/34.21,-91.31/5

Flightradar24 uses ADSB receivers to locate the planes.

On that site I saw one lightning strike in northern California. We
very rarely get lightning here near the coast; we go years without
seeing or hearing any. The power poles here do not have a high ground
wire to take the strikes, like in most places.

I miss lightning. In New Orleans we got great thunderstorms.

I'm not sure I hope you get your wish. That might mean severe weather that
could do a lot of damage.

Singapore has some amazing lightning shows! Pretty cool from 20th floor
of a hotel, feels like it's all around you. Maybe it is!

Airplanes can fly higher than 60,000 feet , but not your commercial airplanes.

I did a quick check on line expecting to find the SR-71 or a F 104 holding the record. But found a NASA electric plane that flew over 96,000 feet in horizontal flight.
