SkyAware focuses on what matters for severe weather, using trusted public weather data to turn complex information into a calm, glanceable view of your local risk. SkyAware shows you: • Today’s local storm and fire risk • Warnings, watches, and mesoscale discussions affecting or near your location • The severe-weather threats that matter most • Atmospheric conditions that can support severe storms • Interactive risk maps and official outlook information • Location-aware notifications when important conditions change • Home Screen and Lock Screen widgets for quick risk checks, including prioritized local alerts in the large widget Dig deeper when you want more context, or get the important picture in just a few seconds. Built for awareness SkyAware is designed to help you understand your severe-weather environment, not overwhelm you with raw weather data. Risk levels, summaries, and other guidance are derived from authoritative public weather products and SkyAware’s own processing. Your location is used only to provide relevant weather information and notifications. SkyAware does not sell your data, track you across apps or websites, or build advertising profiles. Important SkyAware is an informational severe-weather awareness app. It does not issue official warnings, and notifications may not always be immediate. Always rely on official alerts from the National Weather Service, NOAA Weather Radio, and local authorities for emergency information.

NOWA — Your Atmospheric Awareness Platform Weather is more than a forecast. NOWA brings together real-time observations, forecast models, official alerts, marine conditions, space weather, and nearby environmental hazards to give you a clearer picture of what's happening around you. Rather than simply showing a forecast, NOWA analyzes multiple sources of atmospheric data and translates them into information you can understand and act on. Know what's happening now. Understand what's coming next. Know how confident the forecast is. ATMOSPHERIC AWARENESS See current conditions and developing weather through a combination of observations, high-resolution models, precipitation data, and atmospheric analysis. NOWCAST Get plain-English 12-hour and 24-hour weather outlooks that analyze current and developing conditions, including rain, snow, sleet, freezing rain, and mixed precipitation. FORECAST CONFIDENCE Not every forecast is equally certain. NOWA uses High, Medium, and Low confidence indicators to help you understand when the atmospheric signal is strong—and when uncertainty remains. LOCAL HAZARD AWARENESS Stay aware of severe weather, heavy rain, winter storms, coastal hazards, nearby lightning and other changing conditions. Receive customizable notifications even when NOWA is closed. BEACH & MARINE AWARENESS Monitor wave height, swell period, tides, water temperature, rip-current risk, buoy observations, and coastal hazards. SPACE WEATHER Follow the atmosphere above the atmosphere. Monitor aurora potential, Kp index, geomagnetic activity, solar flares, and other space-weather conditions. EARTHQUAKES Monitor nearby seismic activity using USGS data and configurable proximity alerts. BUILT AROUND TRUST NOWA uses trusted sources including the National Weather Service, NOAA, USGS, Open-Meteo, and other meteorological providers.
