We see them floating across the sky over our heads every day – and yet many people know very little about them: Clouds. By the way, our storm radar or lightning strike map is also suitable for this purpose. So the next time you are on your way to vacation, you can use our cloud radar to check in advance whether high clouds will cross your path on the travel route. In practice, airplanes often change their original course to avoid thunderclouds and resulting turbulence. Small clouds move at a height of about 3 km, while thunderclouds in areas with high solar radiation can reach a height of up to 14 km.įor comparison: when you go on vacation by airplane, you find yourself at an altitude of about 10 to 11 km. The height of clouds always depends on the strength of solar radiation and the amount of water vapor. You can then choose whether you want the cloud radar to display low, medium, or high clouds. To do this, simply click on the “Clouds” button at the top right of the map. You can find our rain radar with rain forecast here.īeyond general cloud cover, you can also filter by cloud type or height. While blue indicates weak precipitation, red/purple-colored areas are expected to have severe rain and hail. You can also recognize precipitation by a colored shading on the cloud cover map. In addition to information about cloud cover, our radar also tells you where cloud cover occurs in combination with precipitation. What else you need to know about our cloud cover map: Move the cloud marker with the mouse (smartphone: simply tap on the white dot of the marker using your finger) to your target region and find out how likely the sky will be cloudy there.

This will tell you how the cloud cover will change over the next 36 hours. With the cursor at the bottom left of the cloud cover map, you can visualize the future course of the clouds. To do this, simply click on the corresponding button. You can distinguish between high, medium, and low clouds. Using the button at the top right of the cloud cover map, you can select the type of cloud cover. Conversely, a gray area indicates relatively light cloud cover with occasional sunshine. The chances of catching a glimpse of the sun in this area are therefore very poor. The whiter and clearer the coloration is, the denser the cloud cover is here. On our cloud cover map, cloud areas are displayed visibly for you by a gray-white coloring. Where is it cloudy? Where is the sun shining? This is how you read the cloud cover map: Gray color indicates light cloud cover, while a white color means heavy cloud cover. We will turn mostly dry by bed time Saturday, with a few lingering flurries continuing into Sunday, but otherwise we are dry, cloudy, and quiet to end the weekend.In yellow-colored areas, the sun is shining. Temps will be too mild across the Fox Cities for accumulation, so any flakes that do fall areas south of GB will be those heavier, wetter flakes - more like a slush - and the main concern with this system will be slick roads and dangerous travel. Any accumulation to occur will be in areas north of Green Bay. Light snow will continue through the entire day Saturday, but the bulk of the system will wrap up Saturday AM. By the late afternoon tomorrow, light snow showers will start to move in north of Green Bay. We are dry for a majority of tomorrow with cloudy skies.

By tomorrow morning, an area of low pressure that is sitting over the northern Pacific now will build in, and bring in more clouds to start off your Friday. High pressure will allow for decreasing clouds tonight. However, an area of low pressure to our northwest brought in thick cloud cover, yet again, and some isolated flurries this afternoon. High pressure over us kept us dry for today, with some areas seeing peeks of sunshine. The latest Northeast Wisconsin weather forecast from Storm Team 5…
