By WeatherAI Team

What's New

WeatherAI 2026.06.2 puts the next hour of rain right on your Home Screen, brings a dedicated Tropical Weather Hub just in time for the season, adds river and buoy conditions you can track from Home, lets you share storm reports as clean image cards, and makes radar faster and smoother across the board.

Here's everything in this release.

Minute-by-Minute Rain on Your Home Screen (US)

A new precipitation nowcast card tells you what the next hour of rain or snow looks like, right when it matters.

  • Plain-language headlines like "Light rain starting in about 8 min" or "Precipitation ending in about 15 min"
  • A minute-by-minute chart of the next 60 minutes
  • The card appears automatically when precipitation is on the way and stays out of sight when it's dry

Tropical Weather Hub (US)

Just in time for the season, a dedicated hub brings active tropical systems, your local risk, and preparation guidance together in one place.

  • Active Storms: track live systems with data straight from the National Hurricane Center
  • Your Risk: see how current tropical threats line up with your location
  • Prepare: quick guidance for getting ready before a storm arrives
  • A new Home Screen card surfaces the hub when tropical activity is relevant

Tropical components throughout the rest of the app have been improved as well.

Explore Rivers & Buoys

River and buoy conditions can now be added to the Home Screen, with full nearby lists and interactive maps.

  • A "River & Buoy Conditions" Home card summarizes the nearest water conditions at a glance
  • Rivers are currently US only; buoys are global
  • Tap through to scrollable nearby lists and a full-screen map for each
  • Filter the rivers map by flood stage to focus on what's actionable
  • Richer detail views for individual river gauges and buoy stations

General Radar Improvements

You'll see a variety of improvements to radar products.

  • NEXRAD, MRMS, RTMA, HRRR, and Satellite product data downloads faster for animation
  • The Correlation Coefficient colormap for NEXRAD has been updated to better differentiate meteorological from non-meteorological echoes — helpful for spotting debris signatures in severe weather
  • Weather alerts now show up on radar more quickly
  • Tile rendering during animation is smoother

Share Storm Reports

You can now generate a clean, shareable image card for any storm report, complete with a location map, the report details, and where it happened.

Wind Threat in the Alerts List

Severe thunderstorm and tornado alerts now show the expected maximum wind gust and wind threat right in the alert list, alongside the existing hail details, so you can size up the threat without opening each alert.

General Improvements

A collection of smaller refinements throughout the app:

  • Alert list row colors now match the severity chips and section headers they're grouped under
  • More consistent map framing and zoom across the tropical forecast maps
  • Tidier, faster-loading radar layer settings

Reliability & Performance

Behind-the-scenes work to keep things smooth heading into tropical and severe weather season.

  • More reliable shared storage and data refreshing
  • A much faster back-end, which should mean quicker load times across the app
  • Improved memory usage
  • General stability and performance improvements
