What's New in NOAA Weather Radio

15.1

July 8, 2026

What's New in Version 15.1 Synthesized NOAA Stations Can't get a live broadcast signal? WeatherRadio now generates on-demand NOAA-style audio from live National Weather Service data. Zone forecasts, hazardous weather outlooks, coastal waters, river and flood statements, short-term forecasts, and more — with real-time alert interrupts during playback. Radar & Overlay Improvements The radar map now includes an animated infrared satellite layer alongside live radar. Active advisories are rendered as color-coded overlays directly on the map and filter automatically as you scrub the timeline. Tropical cyclone and tropical storm statements are now included in the advisory overlay. Custom Station Improvements Custom stations now support a frequency field and an optional radar station code, so your custom feeds can show radar just like built-in stations. Callsign and frequency are displayed throughout the app wherever the station appears. Station Names All broadcast station names have been updated to match official NOAA transmitter designations. Bug Fixes & Polish Various stability and performance improvements.

Great app

This is my favorite weather app! You get the NOAA radio forecast as well as a way to read radar.

What an amazing new app update!

The synthesized weather reports? Genius. Well done and thank you for the hard work!

Dang.

Spent over $15.00 to find out it doesn’t stream my local NOAA radio. What a waste. Other features work great, but the reason I downloaded it was to stream NOAA without having to bring my weather radio everywhere. 😅. It streams weird girl voice. Nothing like my real weather radio. Will be filing a chargeback with my Apple Card.

Doesn’t Work

Local stations don’t work. Most important options are behind paywalls even after paying for the app. Not worth it.

Great app

I’m not able to receive any weather radio notifications on this app. Can you fix this on the next update?
