Description

Simple yet powerful app for viewing real-time animated weather radar images in vivid color on a highly responsive interactive map, with higher resolution images than any other radar app in the appstore. Jaggies begone!

Plus this is the only app that allows *you* to control the loop speed, and also choose the interval between individual frames from 5 minutes all the way to 30 minutes.

Plus this is the only app that can show weather forecast, severe weather warning boxes, clickable storm direction arrows with details, clickable hurricane forecast tracks (including huge tropical storm Debby), and snowfall on the same map!

Plus this is the only app that automatically augments land-based radar images with latest images from NOAA satellites covering the Atlantic/Pacific oceans into one single screen. This lets you track and follow the upcoming hurricanes and storms all from the same map.

Plus easily bookmark multiple locations so you can do a quick radar + forecast check for all your important places in just a few seconds.

Coverage Notes: If you live in a very-high-altitude town in Colorado (e.g. Fraser, Vail, Aspen), it is highly likely this app will not meet your needs since radar beams get blocked by the tall mountains. Alaska coverage includes only the southern coastal areas, and does not include the Aleutian Chain. Also cloud coverage does not include Alaska and Guam.

Notes:
This app is only useful for users in the US, including all 50 states and territories including Puerto Rico and Guam.

Re-Downloaded this app!! (5 stars)
I had removed this app in the past because I preferred it's competition as it didn't offer anything "extra" that my other Radar apps didn't already have. To save on space it was deleted.

Fortunately, I saw that this app was recently updated and decided to give it another chance. I'm glad I did! Many improvements have been made.

First, they've given the "User" the option of customizing the loops and ma
