StormEye

Detailed storm tracking information (including ETA) and weather radar.

StormEye provides detailed storm tracking information and weather radar images overlaid on Google Maps. For each storm, StormEye provides important information such as the storm's location relative to your location, where the storm is heading, estimated time of arrival (ETA), the storm's intensity, hail probabilities, and maximum hail size.

StormEye is free, without ads!

!!! StormEye is not being actively developed. I will keep StormEye functioning, but I currently have no plans to add new features. I'm satisfied with the current state of StormEye and I personally use it very often.

StormEye functions by downloading data from the National Weather Service for the selected WSR-88D weather radar. The radar closest to your current location is automatically chosen; however, you can quickly switch to any of the 156 NWS WSR-88D radars across the United States. The downloaded data is then used to construct a weather radar with markers and tracks for every detected storm.

StormEye only supports the United States because the National Weather Service is the source of the weather radar and storm data.
