Weather App

[Bill D]

I have been using a new(ish) weather app lately and have had really good success with it. I thought I would pass it along in case anyone is interested. This radar app allows you to zoom in very close to the area you are in and see where the storm is and where it is headed.

The app is NOAA SuperRes Radar US. It does have a cost, but it has really been worth it. If you get it make sure you go into the settings and turn on "Storm Tracks". It then shows a line of where the storm is headed. I have found it to be super accurate. More than once, we have been able to stay out and enjoy the day as a thunderstorm passed by on a different part of the lake.



Here you can see how the storm tracks show the direction of movement. It doesn't look good in Linton...

I've been using this for about 2 years now, although mine is called Hi Def Radar, so I'm wondering if this is a newer version with better graphics.

I can tell you that I love it and it's the first weather app that I go to for accurate storm, rain, lightning strikes, etc.

Also use My Radar. I find the wind vectors very helpful when planning boating on larger bodies of water

I just went to download this app and realized I already had it. I didn't even know it had a wind vector setting. Maybe they've added it recently? Thanks!

I have used it for just about exactly one year, it has had the vectors since I installed it.

I use WeatherUnderground (wunderground.com). Their app has storm tracks as well (though you have to go turn them on) and lots and lots of information. And the app is free. Might check it out as well, if you are looking for something.

Not trying to hijack this thread but what does everyone use that boats on or near the coast?

I use Google Play Store's - Windfinder Pro and TIDES anyone else?

Guess I just missed it. I've had it for a couple of years.
