What It Does

🗺

Live Hail-Focused Radar

Self-rendered NEXRAD imagery tuned to make real hail cores unmistakable — not just another weather map.

🧊

Detailed Hail Sizing

Estimated size, classification, and dual-pol (CC/ZDR) analysis for every hail core, not just a color on a map.

📍

Proximity Alerts

Pick Conservative, Balanced, or Aggressive sensitivity, or let Auto tune itself per storm using NOAA's hail probability. Get a push notification the moment a core enters your radius.

🌤

Hail Outlook & Forecast

NOAA SPC convective outlook plus full hourly and 7-day forecast for your location.

🌀

Hurricane Tracking

Live tropical storm track, forecast cone, and advisory points overlaid right on the radar map.

🌡

Personal Weather Station

Connect a Tempest station for live local conditions, lightning strikes, wind, and rainfall.

🔥

Wildfire Tracker

Active wildfire detections and smoke plume tracking pulled from NASA FIRMS, NIFC, and NOAA satellite data, layered right on the same map you use for storms.

🌎

Full National Radar

Zoom out from your local view to a full CONUS-wide radar mosaic to see how a weather system is developing across the whole country.

Radar Timelapse

Scrub back through recent radar frames to see exactly how a storm formed and moved before it reached you.

Satellite Lightning

Real-time satellite-detected lightning flashes plotted on the map, so you can see a storm's electrical activity building even before it's overhead.

Cloud Coverage

A live satellite cloud layer for reading sky conditions at a glance, independent of radar reflectivity.

🎯

Hail Zone Overlay

Hail-risk zones drawn directly on the map so you can see at a glance where a storm's most dangerous core is heading.

🧭

Storm Motion Vectors

Speed and direction arrows on every tracked cell, not just the ones near you, so you can see where a storm system is headed next.

📡

Radar Station Browser

Browse and switch between individual NEXRAD radar sites, handy for a closer or less obstructed view of a distant storm.

📌

Multiple Locations

Track hail risk and forecasts for more than one place at once — a second home, family across town, or a job site.
