## What is Dreadcast?

Dreadcast is the radar-first weather app that gives you a clear view of conditions outside - no matter how extreme.

Beautifully rendered radar and live weather.
Dreadcast renders even the most extreme events with precision, using a blend of the latest radar returns and high definition satellite imaging to help you track every storm as it develops. Current data, modeled forecasts and reported events are layered together, so you see the full picture in one place.

Current weather & forecasts.
See what’s happening now and what’s coming next. Follow current conditions, forecasts and live radar for every place you care about, and swipe between saved locations to compare the weather side by side.

Over a dozen layers to customize.
Build your own weather command center with beautifully rendered visual layers for radar, satellite images, wind flow, temperature maps, tropical storms, wildfires, earthquakes, tsunamis, volcanic activity, weather alerts and severe weather outlooks. Save the layer views you use most and switch between them easily.

Make it yours.
Customize your radar with illustrated themes, separate map and radar colors, styled wind particles and custom palettes. Each theme is a living scene, with artwork that changes throughout the day.

Alerts that matter.
Choose the alerts you care about, such as severe weather, tropical advisories and nearby wildfires, and Dreadcast will notify you when they arrive.

Understanding your forecast:
Radar, satellite estimates, forecast tracks, modeled data and reported events each have their own coverage and update times. The credits and timestamps on screen explain what you’re seeing. Dreadcast is not an emergency service, so during dangerous weather, follow official instructions.
