1. This looks like it will work.

https://www.lightningmaps.org/?lang=en#m=oss;t=3;s=0;o=0;b=;ts=0;y=43.2553;x=-110.514;z=5;d=2;dl=2;dc=0;

The trailing stuff must have detected my general location (Bay area right now) but it's pretty wide until you zoom in.
Can't tell if it's actually working. Seems all quiet on the western front.
Windy as hell, though.

I just looked up real time lightning maps. YMMV

2. Windy.com

Look through the options and turn on lightning. Comes with sound effects!

3. Perhaps the National Interagency Fire Center has data

that could be localized for your area and aggregated somehow? The data is probably available, working it might take some effort.

Dunno.

Not much action at the moment.
