RadarCast: Live Weather Radar

Storms, Forecasts & Hurricanes

Free · In‑App Purchases

Look back at the storm with up to 24 hours of history across all Local Radar products with Pro. Faster playback and simpler sharing, too. RadarCast is a weather app for people who want clear radar, reliable forecasts, and fewer distractions. Built by an Emmy Award-winning meteorologist with 14 years on television, from everyday forecasts to major tornado outbreaks. I left broadcast 10 years ago for software to do that same job: serious weather data, shown clearly. LOOK BACK AT THE STORM Follow how storms developed and moved with up to 24 hours of local radar history with Pro. Choose your loop length, adjust the speed, and save an image or animation to share. Available across all Local Radar products. History depends on available radar data. WHAT YOU SEE FIRST Open to a clean radar map with roads, county lines, and live weather alerts. Zoom to your neighborhood or pull back for the region. Tap warnings, storm tracks, discussions, and reports for details. PIN THE PLACES THAT MATTER Pin home, family, work, or the lake right on the radar map. See where the weather is relative to the places you care about, with current conditions and a forecast one tap away. TRACK THE TROPICS When the tropics get active, RadarCast puts the full National Hurricane Center picture on your radar. Follow the official forecast cone, track, and category points, and tap any storm for its winds, gusts, and timing. Before anything is named, the Tropical Weather Outlook shows where the NHC is watching for development, with 2-day and 7-day formation odds. For deeper tracking, Pro adds forecast wind radii, time of arrival, wind history, wind probability, and model guidance. DESIGNED TO TEACH, NOT INTIMIDATE Alerts carry plain-language hazard details, and every product adds context, so you learn what a Severe Thunderstorm Watch means, or what rotation looks like, as you go.
