The NWS has created a national doppler radar map which shows areas of precipitation (rain, snow, or hail) throughout the United States. The amount of the precipitation shown by the color. Light precipitation is blue, moderate is green to yellow, and heavy precipitation is red. This map is updated often.

These maps are updated every few hours.
