Weather Websites: IEMbot
"Want a rolling feed of National Weather Service warnings and watches for an area? Check out the IEMBot Monitor!"
As we’re getting some actual weather in the Phoenix metro area this summer, I thought I’d share some of my online weather resources that I use to keep track of weather events.
My favorite site is the IEMBot Monitor. It’s run by the Iowa State University’s Iowa Environmental Mesonet program. But don’t worry: It’s not just for weather for Iowa! On the IEMBot Monitor, you can pick a National Weather Service local office and get a running list of weather watch or warning products issues for that particular area.
If you’re in Phoenix, you’ll want to select “[psrchat] Phoenix” from the Available Rooms picker and you’ll get a running list of the weather products
I should say at this point that this isn’t a substitute for getting severe weather alerts, just another tool to have in your tool belt.
