About this app

Know your weather. Compare places. Plan the drive.

Stinger Pro Weather Benchmark brings local forecasts, location comparisons, interactive maps, weather history and trip planning into one app. Check home, compare places to live, or plan a road trip.

YOUR WEATHER, IN DETAIL
• See temperature, dew point, humidity, heat index, an approximate wet-bulb globe temperature (WBGT), wind speed and direction, gusts, cloud cover, rain probability and expected rainfall.
• Choose 24-hour, 48-hour or available seven-day forecasts.
• Explore hourly readings and graphs, select individual measures or all of them, and inspect forecast values. Longer windows use daily summaries with hourly drill-down.
• Review active National Weather Service alerts for your selected location.

COMPARE LOCATIONS
• Add cities, ZIP codes, street addresses or map points, and choose your baseline location.
• Compare forecast curves, averages, peaks and differences from your baseline.
• Check rainfall and hourly weather for individual followed locations.
• Resize the comparison graph and table with zoom and Fit controls.

EXPLORE THE MAP
• Switch between street, USGS topographic, shaded terrain and aerial maps.
• Animate recent weather radar with playback and a time slider.
• Display forecast wind direction and speed, and tap for elevation.
• Explore optional aircraft positions and flight details, published airways, and reported wildfire locations and available boundaries.

LOOK BEYOND THE FORECAST
• Review historical temperature extremes, rainfall and wind from nearby reporting stations.
• Compare hot and freezing days, consecutive runs, annual patterns and available years of observations.
• Explore historical tornado tracks, hurricane and tropical cyclone tracks, and magnitude 3+ earthquakes for a selected map area and year range.
• Check station locations and coverage. Past events do not predict future property risk.

PLAN YOUR DRIVE
• Build trips with multiple stops, departure times and planned stop durations.
• View estimated miles, driving time, arrival times and weather at stops and route checkpoints, including wind and gusts.
• Choose balanced routing or a preference for major highways.
• Enter motorhome or large-rig dimensions for routing based on mapped truck restrictions. Confirm clearances and access independently.
• Estimate fuel use, cost and range using MPG, tank size, starting fuel, reserve and price.
• Search for fuel, truck-stop candidates, lodging, campgrounds and hospitals near selected points.
• Prepare a return trip, save or share a trip link, and open trip stops in Google Maps.

SOLAR CONDITIONS AND AMATEUR RADIO
• View NOAA solar and geomagnetic conditions and recent space-weather messages.
• Review general HF band guidance and links to propagation and radio-activity maps.
• Import your own permitted radio-repeater and road-reference records for trip checkpoints. Links to road-report and repeater directories are included.

SAVE AND TAKE IT WITH YOU
• Save locations and preferences, back up settings, and share weather setups.
• Export weather data and graphs.
• Create trip reports for printing or saving as PDF, Excel, a word-processing document or offline HTML. Reports capture loaded information.

LOCATION IS YOUR CHOICE
No account is required. Enter places manually, or optionally use your device location to set a trip starting point. The app does not continuously track your location in the background. Online features send the requests needed to retrieve maps, forecasts, addresses and routes; see the privacy policy.

COVERAGE AND SOURCES
Weather features focus on the United States. Internet is needed for fresh data; forecast, map and historical coverage varies. Routing does not automatically include live traffic or road closures. This is a planning tool, not certified navigation or a substitute for official warnings.
