See What Is Headed Your Way on Live Radar
Play the radar loop to see where rain, snow, and storms are moving and how fast they are closing in. Check the forecast and official alerts for the same place, then ask the AI what they mean for your plans.
Availability, coverage, update frequency, and alert delivery vary by data source, region, subscription plan, device permissions, and service conditions. WeatherAI supplements official sources and is not an emergency notification service. For life-safety decisions, rely on your national weather service, local emergency management, and official warning channels.
Radar that answers the practical question
When weather is changing, the question is simple: is it moving toward you, how intense is it, and what should you watch next? WeatherAI keeps radar, your forecast, official alerts, and AI weather chat together, so you can go from the map to a decision without switching apps.
Track storm movement
Animate radar loops to see whether rain, snow, or storms are approaching, weakening, or intensifying near your location. MRMS, NEXRAD, and satellite loops can run up to 30 frames, enough to follow a storm's track well before it reaches you.
Compare layers quickly
Switch between reflectivity, precipitation type, satellite, and lightning context without leaving the radar workflow.
Use radar with alerts
Radar shows what is happening now. Alerts and forecast summaries help explain what it means for the places you care about.
Radar layers built for active weather
NEXRAD Level 3
High-resolution radar products from NOAA's WSR-88D network for inspecting storm structure, intensity, and movement.
MRMS Reflectivity
Multi-Radar Multi-Sensor composites blend data from all radars for a nationwide radar view that is easier to scan while storms are moving.
MRMS Precipitation Type
See what's falling, rain, snow, sleet, freezing rain, or hail, so radar is useful in winter storms, mixed precipitation, and changing temperatures.
GOES & Himawari Satellite
Geostationary satellite imagery from GOES and Himawari. Visible, infrared, and water vapor views help show developing storms before radar tells the whole story. Pull back to a full disk view of the Pacific or the Atlantic for a whole hemisphere at once, with city lights under the clouds after dark in GeoColor imagery.
GLM Lightning
Lightning data from GOES satellites adds another signal for strengthening thunderstorms and hazardous outdoor conditions.
Turbulence Forecast
See where rough air is forecast across the contiguous U.S., at multiple flight levels and up to 18 hours ahead, with Standard or Pro.
Alerts on the map
See which places are under a warning
Warning boundaries stay easy to pick out over radar, satellite, and every other layer, on the map, in alert detail, and on the tropical maps.
Switch the alert list to a timeline to see which alerts are active, their scheduled end times, and when multiple alerts are in effect, across the past six hours and the next two days.
Share the loop
Send the storm in motion
Preview your radar or satellite animation, then share it as a video or GIF, or save it to Photos.
With Pro, Smooth Motion fills in the movement between frames for video, so a loop glides instead of stepping.
Radar workflows for real decisions
Commuting and errands
Question: Will the rain get here before I leave?
Use radar loops with hourly forecast context to decide whether to wait, leave early, or bring rain gear.
Severe weather monitoring
Question: Is the warned storm moving toward my saved place?
Keep radar, severe weather alerts, and local context close together when storms require closer attention.
Outdoor work and events
Question: Is there enough time before the next round of weather?
Watch incoming precipitation and storm motion before deciding whether a job, practice, or outdoor plan goes ahead.
Aviation weather and storm analysis
Question: What is the structure, trend, or turbulence risk around this weather?
Use NEXRAD, MRMS, satellite imagery, and the turbulence forecast to inspect storm evolution in detail.

Frequently Asked Questions
What makes WeatherAI an AI weather radar app?
The radar and satellite imagery is real data from sources such as NEXRAD, MRMS, ECCC, GOES, and Himawari. AI comes in around the map: plain-language summaries of alerts and forecast discussions, and a weather chat where you can ask what the forecast and active alerts mean for your plans.
Can WeatherAI radar show storms moving toward me?
Yes. WeatherAI radar lets you animate radar and precipitation layers so you can track storm movement near your saved locations and compare radar with local forecasts and alerts.
How often does the radar update?
NEXRAD volume scans generally complete every 4 to 6 minutes, and MRMS composites are produced every 2 minutes at the source. The playback bar labels each frame with its age, so you can always see how current the image is. Standard and Pro refresh the map more often than the free tier.
What radar products are available?
WeatherAI offers global precipitation maps, ECCC radar in Canada, U.S. NEXRAD Level 3 and MRMS, GOES and Himawari satellite imagery, GLM lightning, HRRR model layers, and a turbulence forecast. Availability depends on region and subscription tier.
Do I need a Pro subscription for radar?
Basic weather maps are available free. ECCC Canadian radar is available with Standard and Pro. Advanced U.S. radar, model, satellite, and related products vary by plan, with the full Pro set requiring WeatherAI Pro.
