The Airport View site is worth a look. If you need to know what the weather is doing in Colorado, this is a great place to start. The site has 13 cameras pointed at the sky to get views of the current weather conditions. Each camera page also has the option to view time-lapse sequences of the recent weather.
Airport View Movies Page
Starting from the home page, a thumbnail image shows the current weather for each camera. Click on a photo and you go to that camera's dedicated web page. A larger view of the sky is shown in the player. Underneath the player is a small option list. Choose from the current image, or time-lapse loops of 1, 2 or 4 hours. There is also a link to view the full-sized image at 1280 by 960 pixels.
And if that weren't enough, there is a Movies page that lists a large number of archived time-lapse sequences. Each one is from a day with very interesting weather. Some of the sequences show cloud patterns that are surprising in their elegance and uniqueness.
