12 Hour Lightning Flash Rate History
The yellow numbers are the peak flash rate count and the time it occurred.

12 Hour Lightning History

This is a graph of the lightning activity over the last 12 hours.  The darker green area represents -CG flashes,
while the cyan represents +CG. (CG) = Cloud to Ground Lightning flashes. 
Blue is +IC and pink is -IC. (IC) = Inter/Intra Cloud Lightning flashes.


  Lightning 2000 Version 4 is Here with enhanced Lightning Detection at Pepper Ridge North Valley!!!
   The map now displays flashes which are the actual lightning strikes, individual flashes can contain many strokes!

Live Lightning

 Lightning NOWcast   ·     Lightning Summary   ·     Lightning Records


Real time lightning detection is here, just in time to track the monsoon season thunderstorms. The lightning detection system consists of a Boltek™ lightning detector with lightning analysis performed by Lightning 2000™ from Aninoquisi Software.


Page Updates Every 5 Minutes:
Number in upper left corner of display represents the number of Flashes in the last minute.
The bar above count Number represents the storm threat potential;
Green = Low Risk , Yellow = Medium Risk and Red = High Risk

For Lightning flashes 10 minutes or older, flashes appear in the following colors;

Green (-CG) and Cyan (+CG) denote cloud-to-ground lightning discharges,
Fuchsia (+ IC) and Purple (- IC) denote intercloud/intracloud discharges,
(CID) Compact Intercloud discharges appearOrange and Step Leader strikesYellow

At 15 Minutes Flashes appear as squares, At 30 Minutes Flashes appear as (X)'s,
At 45 Minutes Flashes appear as (+)'s and at 60 Minutes Flashes appear as Dots.

Note: The Sizes of Flash images decrease with age up to 60 minutes.


Disclaimer Note: We have completed the calibration process of the storm ranging. Most Storms should now be correctly range, although due the limitations of the Boltek single antenna lightning system, some storms may be initially ranged incorrectly. Usually this corrects itself when multiple lightning strikes have occured, this allows a better analysis to be performed by the lightning 2000 software. Remember do not based your outdoor plans or activities solely on the lightning information provided here, this lightning display is for informational purposes only, and not intended to be used, for the protection of life or property. Remember to follow the, Lightning Safety Rules!, especially if thunderstorms are nearby!

 Pepper Ridge North Valley Random Weather Facts

MOON PHASE Misconception...
"The most common incorrect reason given for the cause of the Moon's phases is that we are seeing the shadow of the Earth on the Moon! But this cannot be correct: when the Moon passes through the shadow of the Earth, we get a lunar eclipse. Anyone who has seen a lunar eclipse, though, might remember that the Moon actually passes through the Earth's shadow only rarely, so that can't be why the Moon has phases. The real reason for the Moon's phases depends on two things: the Moon is round, and the angle it makes with the Earth and Sun changes over its orbit." - As Quoted From Bad Astronomy.
