Live radar from every NOAA NEXRAD site, the national mosaic, snow forecasts, hurricane tracks and severe warnings, free with no ads and no account. Built for storm spotters, chasers and anyone who needs to know what the sky is doing right now. Nothing that keeps you safe is behind the paywall.
Free for everyone
- Every NEXRAD site. All 156 WSR-88D doppler radars and the full Level III catalog, with velocity and dual-pol, decoded on your phone so it stays fast on weak signal.
- The national mosaic. MRMS composite reflectivity, seamless hybrid scan and precipitation rate, looping back about 2.5 hours.
- Rain, snow or mix. The precipitation type map shows what is actually falling.
- All the snow. Depth and new snowfall from SNODAS, plus snowfall forecasts from HRRR, RRFS and ECMWF. What fell and what is coming, free.
- Severe warnings and watches, the SPC Day 1 outlook, mesoscale discussions, and your forecast office's own written reasoning.
- Push alerts for one saved location the moment a warning is issued.
- Hurricane cone, track and intensity.
- Future radar for the next six hours, blended with live radar so the first hour starts from what is on the map now, plus hourly wind chill and heat index.
- Live surface analysis: temperature, dew point, humidity, wind, gust, visibility and cloud.
- Animated infrared satellite, day and night.
- Airport observations (METARs), live storm reports, air quality, smoke and wildfires.
- A 7 day forecast for any point you tap.
- Stack layers and they all play on one clock.
- Map tools: point inspector, ruler, range circle and freehand drawing, plus a guide to reading radar.
That is the free app, and for most people it is the whole app.
MesoRadar Pro
- Level 2 radar at every site, quarter kilometer super resolution, and the higher tilts so you can look up through the storm.
- Hail and rotation analytics: rotation tracks, azimuthal shear, MESH hail size, echo tops, VIL, QPE rainfall totals and lightning probability.
- Storm cell tracking with cell ID, forecast track, and hail, tornado vortex and mesocyclone signatures.
- Live satellite lightning from the last few minutes.
- Dual map: two radars side by side on one clock, reflectivity beside velocity at the same tilt, or the mosaic beside precipitation type.
- The full GOES catalog on the five minute scan: GeoColor, visible, water vapor and fire bands, the RGB composites, all 16 bands, and GOES West.
- TDWR terminal radar at 45 airports, for tight coverage near cities.
- HRRR severe parameters (significant tornado, supercell composite, EHI, bulk shear, storm-relative helicity, CAPE and CIN) and winds aloft at 850, 700, 500 and 250 mb.
- ECMWF and RRFS models, a model Skew-T anywhere you tap, and real balloon soundings at launch sites.
- SPC Days 2 and 3, probabilistic, fire and rain outlooks, and the CPC 6 to 10 and 8 to 14 day.
- Tropical wind radii beyond the cone, and winter road conditions.
- Snow alerts: pick how much snow matters to you and we tell you when it is coming.
- Warning push at up to 10 saved places, and control over which alert types buzz your phone.
- Custom color tables in Palette Studio, a national loop back about 8 hours, and up to 8 layers stacked at once.
Why no ads
Most weather apps make the most money at the exact moment you need them most. We do not run ads. Pro pays for the expensive data, and the safety layer stays free for everyone.
