A closed-beta U.S. radar map that presents storms in 3D using NOAA MRMS data, with height, rotation, warnings, wind, and replay controls.

Landing page captured for the 2026-10-03 issue.

For: US storm watchers and weather enthusiasts
Worth noticing: Rotation cones show a straight-line 30-minute projection and are explicitly labeled as visualization, not a forecast.

Field notes

The controls expose several layers beyond basic reflectivity, including storm height, rotation tracks, warnings, and wind. The page says the radar view spans 33 heights up to 19 km and updates every 4 to 10 minutes during the day, with hourly overnight updates. Its maker describes it as a hobby project, disclaims meteorological expertise and NOAA affiliation, and directs users to local official alerts for safety decisions.
