Photog weather forecast

| ->> I don't know if this is a stupid question or not. Is there a website that does weather forecasts for photographers? Something a little more specific than the vague generalities that most sites do? I was going to do some long exposures tonite and was trying to figure out if I was going to see any clouds or even rain, and maybe about what time. Most forecasts aren't really all that specific or focus on the things we would like. I searched and came up with stock images of weather. Did I just answer my own question? |

| ->> I'd suggest trying to find tower reports from a local airport. Back when I was taking flying lessons there was a phone number we could call to get a recording of the weather conditions, probably online somewhere now. |

->> There are many weather services which will provide very location specific forecasts on a subscription basis.
For the non-subscription based (i.e. free) sites, I like weatherunderground.com. Good hourly data, % of moon illuminated, astronomy related data and an excellent, searchable hourly history. |

| ->> I like to use NOAA.gov Enter the zip, go to radar and loop the radar. I usually have this in my car when Im out shooting meteor showers. |

->> Pre-sunrise tomorrow will begin at f2.8 @ 1/10th with a temperature of 8000°K. Temperatures fall sharply to 2500°K as the sun peeks over the horizon, pushing settings to a comfortable f5.6 & 1/250th. Rising temperatures throughout the morning should peak at 6500°K around noon, forcing those shutter speeds into the mid-thousands with moderate apertures. Light cloudiness in the early afternoon will cause a further rise in temperature with a decline of speeds into tripple digits and the possible need for a change in color profile.
At sunset, we can expect another fall in temperature, back to the deep reds in the range of 2700°K, and a return to those f2.8 @ 1/10th settings as the day fades to darkness.
Sorry.... couldn't resist |
