LIVE CAMERA NETWORK
Weather Radar by Metro — Live
The NOAA/NWS NEXRAD frame for 21 US metros, each paired with its live camera wall — 11,262 cameras in all. Refreshed every 5 minutes. Free, no signup.
Every national radar site shows the same map. These pages do the opposite: one metro per page, the mosaic windowed to that metro's 80 × 60 km frame, and underneath it the cameras that stand inside the frame — so when a cell crosses the radar, you can watch it cross the streets.
The radar is NOAA's, credited to NOAA on every frame, and it is the same nowCOAST feed the WorldEye globe has always served. What WorldEye adds is the pairing: a measured camera wall (the count rule is stated on every page, and the metros that miss it are named below with their real numbers).

The 21 metros
The famous absences
A metro joins this family at 250 catalogue cameras within 30 km of its camera cluster's centre — measured from the catalogue, the same rule for every city. These measured near-misses get no page yet, and their real numbers are printed rather than rounded up: El Paso 225, Austin 223, Chicago 220, Boise 219, San Diego 219, Pittsburgh 213, Honolulu 128, New Orleans 48. New Orleans (48) is the honest surprise of the audit — a major metro whose public camera field is genuinely thin. If a metro's field grows past the line, it joins automatically at the next audit.
How to use the metro radar pages
- 1Pick your metro: the frame is already windowed to it — no panning a national map down to your streets.
- 2Read the frame stamp before the frame: the mosaic republishes about every five minutes, and the printed time is the picture you have.
- 3Drop to the camera wall for ground truth: the wall is nearest-first from the same centre, so the top of the wall is the middle of the frame.
- 4Treat an empty radar as information: reflectivity paints precipitation only, and a clear frame over wet-looking cameras (or the reverse) usually means the sweep and the street are minutes apart.
- 5For warnings and watches, the National Weather Service is the authority — these pages show pictures, not warnings.
