Sources

The Weather Channel
A great starter source is The Weather Channel. If you're new to meteorology, or just want the facts, you should probably start here.

Pros:
- Make learning Meteorology and knowing what's happening easily.
- Long time professionals.
- Local weather every 10 minutes on TV.

Cons:
- Doesn't always cover severe weather. Don't count on them.

The National Weather Service (NWS)
The most reliable of them all. A government ran service dedicated to weather. These are the guys who send out those irritating messages to your phone or sound those really loud sirens.

Pros:
- Government ran.
- Extremely reliable.
- Raw doppler radar data.

Cons:
- Not for beginners.
- Can be confusing if you don't know meteorology well.

weather.gov

Lightning Map
Title says it all. Great source for identifying where lightning strikes. Obviously the strikes aren't extremely accurate but it's live (about a 4 second delay).

lightningmaps.org

Post other sources for me to add.

TWC gets most of their information from the NWS anyways, so I just cut out the middleman. There's a seriously ridiculous amount of information on weather.gov if you know how to look for it.
