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. An intuitive green, yellow, and red system helps communicate changing conditions and potential hazards at a glance.
