Color tables you can change. WARNINGS THAT FOLLOW YOU Tornado, severe and flash flood warnings for where you actually are, delivered while the app is closed. Not a city you picked once. FROM THE FIELD Live POV video from chase vehicles. Storm reports with photos from the public. Pressure probes dropped in front of storms, reporting as they go. FORECAST TOOLS SPC and ECCC outlooks, mesoanalysis with CAPE, shear and helicity, WPC excessive rainfall, soundings and model data. No ads. No data brokers. Nothing sold. Optional tipping if you want to fund the next probe, and nothing is locked behind it.
