NOAA radar map for the US, severe weather alerts and live GOES satellite loops
Weather Radar USA is a live radar map and a GOES satellite viewer in one app. Open it and an animated weather radar loop of the last 2 hours is already playing over your area. One tap switches to live satellite imagery from GOES East and GOES West. LIVE RADAR MAP - Animated 2 hour radar loop for the whole United States, updated every 10 minutes - NOAA MRMS reflectivity, the national mosaic built from the NEXRAD Doppler radar network - Dark base map tuned for radar readability, so green, yellow and red echoes stand out and state lines stay visible - Smooth animated radar that keeps playing while you pan and zoom the weather map - Compact color legend, one tap to show or hide - Remembers your last map position, so your town is on screen the next time you open the app SEVERE WEATHER ALERTS - Watches and warnings drawn straight on the radar map - Every National Weather Service alert type: tornado warning, severe thunderstorm, flash flood, winter storm, hurricane and tropical storm, heat, high wind, fire weather and more - Tap any point on the map to read the full alert for that spot: headline, what is happening, where, when it expires and the safety instructions - Alerts nearby counter shows how many alerts are active around you right now GOES SATELLITE LOOPS - Live imagery from the GOES East and GOES West weather satellites, GOES-19 and GOES-18 - 22 regional views covering the continental US plus Alaska, Hawaii, Puerto Rico and the Caribbean - 9 channels: GeoColor, visible, infrared, water vapor, fire temperature, dust, air mass and more - 2 hour satellite loops that play as a smooth animation - Pinch zoom, double tap zoom and fling panning on every frame - Region picker with a map, a state search box and a my location button RADAR AND SATELLITE, SIDE BY SIDE Most weather apps hand you a rain radar and stop there. This one gives you both halves of the picture. The radar map shows the precipitation that is about to reach you. The satellite loop shows the system that is bringing it, often hours before the first echo appears on radar. Switch between the two with one tap on the toolbar, and the app remembers which screen you were on. WHY PEOPLE USE IT - Check whether a storm will hit before you drive, walk the dog or start yard work - Follow a line of thunderstorms across the state on the storm radar - Watch rain and snow bands move in during a winter storm - See where a hurricane or tropical storm sits right now on live satellite - Keep an eye on wildfire smoke and dust plumes on the satellite channels COVERS THE WHOLE COUNTRY Radar and satellite for all 50 states. Type a state name such as Texas, Florida, Oklahoma, California or Alaska into the region search and jump straight to that view. Satellite coverage reaches out over the Atlantic, the Gulf and the Caribbean during hurricane season, and the Pacific views reach Hawaii. SIMPLE BY DESIGN - No account and no sign up - Free to use - Choose your start screen: radar map or satellite - Image quality setting for slower connections - Works on phones and tablets, portrait and landscape - Dark theme that suits a radar map at night WHAT THIS APP IS A fast radar and satellite viewer, built around one question: what is the sky doing right now, here and across the country. Open it, look, close it. Hourly and 10 day forecasts are left to the big forecast apps. What you get here is an animated weather radar map and a live satellite loop that load quickly and stay out of your way. DATA SOURCES Radar and alert data from NOAA and the National Weather Service (NWS). Satellite imagery from the NOAA GOES program. This app is an independent viewer.
