Why is DeltaWeatherCam.com your best source for true, local weather information?

The answer is simple. Every other weather site, including NOAA, Weather Channel, Weather.com, AccuWeather and all the others, provide current conditions that are actually reported from the Montrose Regional Airport (KMTJ) located about 22 miles away! Given the regional geography and microclimates, you may as well be getting your information from a station in Denver.

DeltaWeatherCam.com operates a state of the art commercial weather station on California Mesa less than a mile from downtown Delta, CO. We provide true local weather information and current conditions, including lightning and storm tracking.

Next time you see a newspaper, city or county web site, or any other media reporting 'local' current conditions for Delta, check the real source of the data. Let them know that DeltaWeatherCam.com offers accurate, truly local current conditions for our area, and is happy to share its data with anyone interested at no charge.

	Lightning Map - Last 60 minute loop - Temp 80.6° F
	Lightning detection is not currently operational due to a technical issue. It will return shortly. Last 60 Minute Loop Strike Report The lightning detector is located at the center of the map, on California Mesa just outside of Delta, CO, and the map is updated every 60 seconds. New strikes are displayed as symbols (▼▲) which change to dots as they age. The color of the symbols/dots indicate the type/age of the strike (see legend for details). Lightning is classified as either cloud to ground or intra-cloud (CG or IC). It can also be either positive or negative, with positive being the more dangerous form. Stormvue-1.52 (c)2004 Astrogenic Systems - Java required The screen can be zoomed between 375 mi. and 180 mi. using the Zoom/Full buttons under View Range at the top. The Event Loop Run button allows replay of the last 30 or 60 minutes of activity at 60x speed. Be careful! Lightning kills more people each year on average than tornadoes and hurricanes combined, and +CG is especially dangerous!
