<p>Live radar from F5Weather</a></div>

Our radar is based off of US NEXRAD and Canadian weather radar sites through the quality controlled MRMS system. It compiles various sources for radar data and filters out erroneous returns such as sun spikes and ground clutter. We then colorize the precipitation based on our methods for determining precipitation type. Rain is in shades of green, mixed precipitation and freezing rain in shades of pink and snow is in shades of blue.

<p>Live satellite from F5Weather</a></div>

Our satellite is from the GOES-16. It is color enhanced by using a geocolor terrain background during the day and black marble city lights at night. The daytime satellite data is Visible satellite imagery, and nighttime uses Infrared bands. The bluish clouds are fog and low cloud. The whiteest clouds are the coldest, highest cloud tops.

Current surface weather map around Grundy County, IL

This surface map is from the HRRR computer model. It is a 1-hour forecast, updated hourly, which is a good estimate of the current surface conditions. This map shows the current high and low pressure centers, pressure isobar contours, wind streamlines and thickness contours. It also shows the currently depicted preciptiation estimates, although this should not be a substitute for actual live radar. The purple dashed contour is the 5400m thickness line, which is often a good proxy for the rain/snow line.

<p>Hurricane Tracking from F5Weather</a></div>

Our hurricane tracking map monitors for any current or forecast tropical disturbances in the Atlantic. (See our Pacific Hurricane Tracker) Various hurricane models will draw a 'spaghetti plot' in the Atlantic Basin when a disturbance is forecast or exists, showing the system's forecast track. Once a storm has developed, the National Hurricane Center will forecast their official track. This will show up on the map along with the storm's current intensity, track and name. We will also plot some of the storm's vitals and of course the spaghetti plots from the models along with the NHC forecast track will give you an idea of where it's heading, and its forecast intensity with time.

The average summer temperature is 72.6°F (22.6°C), and the average winter temperature is 28.6°F (-1.9°C). The record high temperature is 113°F (45°C), and the record low temperature is -30°F (-34°C).

Minooka is located in USDA Hardiness Zone 5b, which means that the average annual minimum temperature is between -15°F and -10°F (-26°C and -23°C). The growing season in Minooka lasts for about 170 days, from late April to early October.

Climate Change

The climate of Minooka is changing, as it is in the rest of the world. The average annual temperature has increased by about 1°F (0.6°C) since the late 19th century. The average annual precipitation has also increased, by about 5 inches (13 cm). The growing season has also become longer, by about 10 days.

These changes are expected to continue in the future. The average annual temperature is projected to increase by another 2-4°F (1.1-2.2°C) by the end of the century. The average annual precipitation is also projected to increase, by about 5-10 inches (13-25 cm). The growing season is also projected to become longer, by about 10-20 days.

These changes are likely to have a number of impacts on the environment and on human health. For example, the increased temperatures are likely to lead to more heat waves, which can be dangerous for people with heart or respiratory problems. The increased precipitation is likely to lead to more flooding, which can damage property and infrastructure. The longer growing season is likely to allow pests and diseases to spread more easily, which can harm crops and forests.

Adaptation and Mitigation

There are a number of things that can be done to adapt to and mitigate the impacts of climate change in Minooka. For example, the city can invest in infrastructure that is more resilient to extreme weather events, such as flooding and heat waves. The city can also promote the use of renewable energy sources, which will help to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.

Individuals can also take steps to adapt to and mitigate the impacts of climate change. For example, they can weatherize their homes to make them more energy efficient, and they can plant trees to help cool their homes and neighborhoods. They can also reduce their consumption of fossil fuels by driving less and using public transportation more.

By taking these steps, we can help to reduce the impacts of climate change and protect our communities.
