<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.

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 Clark County, NV

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.

Summary for Mesquites

Description

Mesquites are a genus of leguminosae trees or shrubs native to the arid and semi-arid regions of North and Central America. They are characterized by their distinctive twisted or contorted branches and their ability to tolerate drought and high temperatures.

Ecology

Mesquites play an important ecological role in their native environments. They provide shade and shelter for wildlife, improve soil fertility through nitrogen-fixing bacteria in their roots, and serve as a food source for various animals, including birds, insects, and livestock.

Species

There are several species of mesquites, including:

    •   Honey mesquites (Prosopis glandulosa): Native to the southwestern United States and northern Mexico, known for their sweet, edible seed Pods.
    •   Velvet mesquites (Prosopis velutina): Found in the Sonoran Desert, characterized by their velvety leaves and yellow flowers.
    •   Screwbean mesquites (Prosopis pubescens): Distributed in the southwestern United States and northern Mexico, with distinctive twisted seed Pods.

Adaptations

Mesquites have evolved several adaptations to survive in harsh conditions:

    •   Deep taproot systems: Allow them to access water deep in the soil.
    •   Drought tolerance: Can survive with minimal water for extended periods.
    •   Nitrogen-fixing bacteria: Help improve soil fertility and provide nutrients to the plant.
    •   Spines: Deter herbivores from browsing on their leaves and branches.

Importance

Mesquites have various uses and benefits:

    •   Food: The seed Pods of some species are edible and have been used as a food source by Native Americans for centuries.
    •   Medicine: Traditional medicine has utilized mesquites for their antibacterial, antifungal, and anti-diabetic properties.
    •   Landscaping: Mesquites are often planted as ornamental trees in xeriscaping and desert landscapes.
    •   Firewood: The dense wood of mesquites is used for firewood and charcoal.
    •   Erosion control: Their extensive root systems help stabilize soil and prevent erosion.
