Follow your favorite storm chasers as they race across their target area. Turn on a radar layer to see their position in relative to the storm. Follow your chaser turn by turn; chaser locations are updated every minute to ensure you don’t miss out!
In addition to chaser locations, viewers can overlay watches and warnings issued by the National Weather Service. Watches and warnings are displayed as polygon outlines; when the viewer clicks on the polygon they can see specific alert details - all without leaving the page. Tornado Watches are displayed in yellow and Severe Thunderstorm Watches are displayed in pink.
Convective Outlooks issued by the Storm Prediction Center are viewable as a layer on our platform. Categories of convective outlooks range from marginal risk to high risk. Not only can you see categorial outlooks, you can also display tornado, hail, and wind outlooks. These products are used by storm chasers to help aid in the choosing of a target area.
NEXRAD radar, or Next-Generation Radar, is a network composed of 159 NWS WSR-88D radar sites all around the United States. We also have a select few radars available outside of the United States. Our map now displays level 3 reflectivity data which is easier on the viewer’s eyes. In addition to reflectivity, we also now feature enhanced echo tops, rotation history, vertically integrated liquid (VIL), hail size, and a few others.
Explore tropical systems with our latest feature. View tropical storm and hurricane data direct from the Nation Hurricane Center! Tropical system cones will tell you estimated position, forecast time, maximum wind, and wind gusts.
Want to see where storms are firing up before precipitation appears on the radar? Look no further than our GOES satellite layer! The satellite layer is perfect for those who want to see storm development, overshooting tops, cloud coverage on big severe days, and hurricanes before they even appear on radar.
Local Storm Reports (or LSR's) are essential to NWS offices to know what is going on in their viewing areas. Reports can consist of funnel clouds, wind damage, severe hail, tornadoes, and much more. These reports can be submitted by NWS employees, storm chasers, storm spotters, government entities, and the public. You can now view these submitted reports on the map as you watch a stream.
Are you a lightning lover? If so, you will enjoy our latest experimental feature: lightning data! View lightning strikes with up-to-the-minute data as you watch chaser streams. Each yellow lightning bolt represents a strike. This feature is only available to premium subscribers.
Want to know where the storm is heading? Take a look at the storm tracks layer. This layer allows you to see the direction a storm cell is going, the speed, as well as an identifier for it. This layer is great for those who want to know how fast a storm is going and when it will get to a certain location at its current speed.
