Our real-time lightning radar monitors electromagnetic atmospheric discharges within a 30-mile radius of Salmon Falls Creek Reservoir. Concentric safety rings indicate proximity: 5 miles (critical danger zone), 10 miles (15-minute arrival warning), 20 miles (basin caution), and 30 miles (perimeter monitoring). It tracks storm bearing, flash density, and evaluates the marine 30-30 safety rule.

The live radar overlay displays a real-time 6-frame precipitation loop powered by RainViewer and NOAA NEXRAD Doppler radar composites. It updates every 10 minutes to show incoming storms, rain, snow, and thunderstorm cells directly above Salmon Falls Creek Reservoir. You can pause, play, or scrub the timeline using the controls in the top-right corner of the map.

Salmon Falls Creek Reservoir features multiple shoreline access points. Launch sites typically provide concrete ramps, docks, and parking, though seasonal water levels and park permits may affect launch availability.
