Lightning Tracker vs NWS Weather (Unofficial)

See every lightning strike as it happens — and get a push before the storm is overhead. Lightning Tracker turns NOAA's GOES weather satellite into your personal storm warning system. Strikes appear on the map within seconds of hitting the ground, updated every 20 seconds, so you can watch storm cells form, move, and fade in real time. LIVE STRIKE MAP • Every strike plotted live from NOAA's GOES lightning sensor • Color-coded by age — instantly see where the storm is right now, not 15 minutes ago • Nearest-strike card shows exactly how far away lightning is and which direction it's moving ALERTS THAT FIND YOU • Set your alert radius and get a push notification the moment lightning strikes inside it • Watch multiple places at once — home, the cabin, the ballpark, grandma's house • Alerts work even when the app is closed KNOW WHAT'S COMING • Radar: 2-hour precipitation playback, frame by frame — see the rain that rides with the storm • Hotspots: live storm zones ranked by intensity and distance from you • Forecast: NOAA's official severe-storm outlook for today, tomorrow, and day 3 REWIND THE STORM • Scrub back through 24 hours of lightning, hour by hour • See exactly where last night's storm tracked — and whether it hit your street BUILT FOR PEOPLE WHO NEED TO KNOW Golfers, boaters, hikers, coaches, event organizers, storm watchers, and anyone who's ever stood on an open field wondering if that rumble was close.

***NWS Weather is an independent app and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by the National Weather Service, NOAA, the EPA, or any government agency; all forecast, air-quality, and related data are provided by those agencies as public information.*** NWS Weather is a clean, fast, familiar weather app for iPhone and iPad — the everyday weather experience you already know, rebuilt from the ground up on forecasts that come straight from the U.S. National Weather Service. WHY NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE FORECASTS Most weather apps license their data from private vendors who re-process it through their own models. NWS Weather goes to the source. The National Weather Service is the United States government's official forecasting agency — the same meteorologists, at your local Weather Forecast Office, who issue the country's official watches, warnings, and advisories. Their forecasts are made by professional human forecasters, updated around the clock, and provided to every American as a free public service. No middleman, no proprietary "AI forecast," no paywall — just the authoritative government forecast for your exact location. PRIVATE BY DESIGN Your weather is nobody's business but yours. • No account. No sign-up, no email, nothing to log into. • No tracking. No analytics SDKs, no advertising, no third-party trackers. • No server of ours. NWS Weather has no backend of its own — your device talks directly to government weather services. We never receive, see, or store a copy of your location or anything you do in the app. • Your location is used only to fetch your forecast, and goes (rounded) straight to the government's public weather API — never to us. EVERYTHING YOU EXPECT • Current conditions with feels-like temperature, humidity, wind, pressure trend, and visibility • Hour-by-hour forecast and a detailed 7-day outlook • Beautiful daily charts for temperature and "feels like" • Official NWS alerts — watches, warnings, and advisories with the full text, issuing office, and affected areas • Sunrise and sunset times AN INTERACTIVE WEATHER MAP • Animated NOAA radar • Forecast layers for temperature, precipitation, and wind • Scrub through time and watch the loop play • Your saved cities, right on the map AIR QUALITY & SUN • Live Air Quality Index from the EPA's AirNow network, with plain-language health guidance • UV Index so you know when to cover up HOME SCREEN WIDGETS Keep your favorite places a glance away, refreshed in the background. BUILT ENTIRELY ON PUBLIC DATA Every number in NWS Weather comes from a U.S. government or public source: the National Weather Service (api.weather.gov), the EPA (AirNow air quality and UV index), and NOAA (radar and forecast map layers, plus climate normals). No private data vendors, ever. A NOTE ON COVERAGE Because NWS Weather is built on National Weather Service data, it covers the United States and its territories.
