displays animated weather radar around your current location
allowing you to quickly see what weather is coming your way. Just
start the app and your location pops up with animated live radar
with radar loop lengths of up to two hours. This basic
functionality provides the quickest way to get a fast snapshot of
the weather on-the-go and it’s what has made MyRadar so successful
over the years. Check your phone and get an instant assessment of
the weather that will impact your day.
In addition to the live radar MyRadar has an ever-increasing list
of weather and environmentally-related data layers that you can
overlay on top of the map; our animated winds layer shows a
breathtaking visual representation of both surface winds and winds
at the jetstream level; the frontal boundaries layer shows high and
low pressure systems as well as frontal boundaries themselves; the
earthquakes layer is a great way to stay on top of the latest
reports on seismic activity completely customizable as to severity
and time; our hurricane layer allows users to stay on top of the
latest tropical storm and hurricane activity throughout the world;
the aviation layer overlays AIRMETs SIGMETs and other
aviation-related data including the ability to track flights and
display their IFR flight plans and paths and the “wildfires” layer
allows users to stay abreast of the latest fire activity around the
United States.
In addition to the data layers MyRadar has the ability to send
weather and environmental alerts including alerts from the National
Weather Center such as Tornado and Severe Weather alerts. MyRadar
includes the ability to receive alerts based off of Tropical Storm
and Hurricane activity; you can configure the app to send you an
alert any time a tropical storm or hurricane forms or is upgraded
or downgraded.
One of the most useful features in MyRadar is the ability to
provide advanced rain alerts; our patent-pending process for
predicting hyper-local rainfall is the most accurate in the
industry. Instead of having to constantly check the app MyRadar
will send you an alert up to an hour in advance as to when the rain
will arrive at your current location down to the minute including
details on intensity and duration. These alerts can be a life saver
when you’re on-the-go and don’t always have time to check the
weather – our systems will proactively do the work for you and let
you know in advance before the rain hits.
All of the weather and environmental data represented on MyRadar is
displayed on our custom mapping system developed in-house. This
mapping system uses your devices GPU which makes it incredibly fast
and speedy. The map has the standard pinch/zoom capability which
allows you to smoothly zoom and pan around the United States and
the rest of the world to see what the weather is like anywhere on
the planet.
In addition to the free features of the app the premium upgrade is
available including real-time hurricane tracking – great for the

above and beyond the free version including the cone of probability
for tropical storm/hurricane forecast tracks and also includes a
detailed synopsis from the National Hurricane Center. The premium
upgrade also include the professional radar pack which allows
greater detail of radar from individual stations. Users can select
individual radar stations around the US select the radar tilt angle
and also change the radar product being displayed including base
reflectivity and wind velocity – great for experienced weather
buffs looks to stay on top of possible tornado formation.
