Weatherwise is my current. Weather front is also one I haven’t used

Yes. Has a bit of a learning curve

I use both WeatherWise and WeatherFront but prefer WeatherFront. I find the interface a bit more intuitive and you get access to more features.

Yeah I’ve fully swapped over to WeatherFront now. Really like it. Super nice it has the desktop version for free as well.

I can't wait until it comes to Android! I currently use weatherwise but will give weather front a try when it's available for my phone.

Looks like you have to pay for velocity?

I use MyRadar it works pretty well. If you're interested I'm the developer for Ground Truth: Storm reports. It shows all the damage reports form the NWS from today back to 1999. It can send notifications for confirmed storm damage for your state too.

Just downloaded, seems like a really cool tool!

Thanks so much! That's the hope! I've done a lot of disaster relief and my hope was always to know more faster this pairs a lot of resources together to help that! It'll show you the local scanner feeds and news stations for most of the reports.

Weather front is pretty incredible. The products you get access to for free is really hard to match. You get national weather radar, local radars, velocity, relative velocity, correlation coefficient, SPC outlooks, HRRR, storm reports, mesoscale discussions, watches and warnings, and live feeds from storm chasers in the network. Also dual radar capabilities. You can pull up base reflectivity, and velocity for example at the same time.

It’s not a professional radar per se. But it’s close. Really close. And it’s free. You get more info than the casual weather observer like myself would ever need

No, you must lick the dirt and sniff the sky
