About this app

Radar Alive! was written by a veteran storm chaser for the serious meteorological user..

Radar Alive! brings weather radar to your phone or tablet from all US states and Puerto Rico. Watch tornadoes, hurricanes and other weather events live and in Level III detail. Monitor your local weather radar. See warnings on the map, and warning text. Easily switch to the nearest doppler radar with a long press on the map. See weather conditions and observations on the METAR layer.

Track all or selected storm chasers; automatically report your own position through Spotter Network, without requiring that the app be open (in other words, use your location in the background).

Radar Alive! is suitable for storm chasers, professional meteorologists, emergency personnel, SKYWARN spotters and weather enthusiasts. It has a wide selection of US radar products. Selected NWS severe weather warnings are displayed along with a customizable low clutter map with cities, roads, counties and states. The display is suitable for both phones and tablets.

Choose from a menu of radar products at multiple tilt angles, including composite and base reflectivity, base and storm relative velocity, VIL, hydrometeor classification (type of precipitation) and others. Spot tornadoes with the velocity and base reflectivity plots; view warning boxes and warning text; watch hail with the hydrometeor classification display.

Radar Alive!'s images are generated from NOAA's NEXRAD Level III binary data (NWS weather radar). Carefully simplified maps minimize clutter on the radar display.

With an AllisonHouse subscription, you also get super-resolution radar data, and an alternate source of radar data, along with new products including lightning, watches, local storm reports, and SPC Day 1 convective outlook

The serious user will appreciate advanced features, such as smart GPS usage to conserve battery power; network bandwidth conservation; and, maps optimized for weather radars.

A full Spotter Network client is included. It can display the positions of all or selected active Spotter Network users. You can use it to automatically report your position to Spotter Network, and to make reports of weather events. IF YOU ENABLE REPORTING, IT WILL REPORT YOUR EXACT LOCATION, INCLUDING IN THE BACKGROUND WHEN THE APP IS NOT VISIBLE. This can be stopped at any time.

After PYKL disappeared, I installed Radar Alive sometime last year but didn't use it much until last week. I'm a storm chaser and mainly use GRLevel3 on my laptop, using Allison House feeds. I've got to say, over the last week I used Radar Alive on my phone much more and it is quite feature rich! The detailed AH radar feeds (which use level 2 data if I recall) are superb, better than what I get in GRLevel3 on my laptop. Take the time to customize the app. It is very flexible. I recommend.

One of the best. This app gives everything: reflectivity...many modes, type of precipitation, amount of rain, storm tracks...plus much more. Viewing is highly customizable. Very accurate and easy to use after a 15 minute review.
