Storm Hunter WX

Storm Hunter WX is an indispensable tool for anyone seeking to stay a step ahead of severe weather. Designed to provide a streamlined interface that combines advanced radar data with customizable Safety Net Alerting, this app keeps you informed and safe. With the ability to define your own alert thresholds and track up to eight different locations, users can be alerted as soon as inclement weather begins to manifest signs like lightning, hail, or rotation.

The app shines with a selection of five high-resolution National Weather Service radars solely covering Iowa, enhanced by a feature affectionately known as the "Baron Button." This function allows users to dissect storm cells into their individual rain, hail, and wind threats with just a single click. Additionally, the Future Scan product extends the utility by forecasting the movements and anticipated developments of storm cells up to an hour ahead, including potential expansion or weakening.

The platform extends its protective reach across the United States with a detailed national radar overview. A specialized feature, "U.S. Severe Wind," swiftly pinpoints the zones of highest wind shear, aiding in the identification of possible rotational and destructive wind sectors.

This app's resourcefulness is further augmented by personalized alerts and the ability to save multiple locations for forecasts generated by national weather prediction models, along with forecast radar predictions, including rain/snow accumulations up to 24 hours ahead. Radar-estimated rain totals provide users with an extra layer of insight.

For those intensely following severe weather events, there is a link to the Iowa Storm Chasing Network's live streams, offering a real-time window into unfolding weather conditions, especially on crucial tornado days.

Storm Hunter WX is a free-to-download platform, ensuring that it is accessible to all who wish to keep abreast of the latest weather updates and ensure safety in unpredictable weather scenarios. It is your go-to for precise, up-to-the-minute weather forecasting and severe weather alerts.
