AI Weather Radar With Live Storm Tracking
Animate real radar and satellite imagery, then connect what the map shows with your selected forecast, supported alerts, summaries, and AI weather questions.
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 and satellite layer availability, resolution, and refresh cadence vary by region, product, and plan.
Quick answer
What does AI add to weather radar?
WeatherAI does not invent radar imagery. It displays supported data from sources such as ECCC, NEXRAD, MRMS, GOES, and Himawari, then places those maps beside forecast, alert, and conversational context so you can understand what is moving toward the places you care about.
Real weather sources
Radar, satellite, lightning, model, and outlook products retain their real regional coverage and subscription boundaries.
Ask follow-up questions
Use AI weather chat to ask about rain timing, alerts, storm context, or what supported conditions mean for your plans.
Connect map and forecast
Compare radar motion with hourly forecasts, saved locations, and supported official alerts in the same workflow.
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 connects radar, forecast context, supported alerts, and AI weather questions so the map becomes part of a planning workflow.
Track storm movement
Animate radar loops to see whether rain, snow, or storms are approaching, weakening, or intensifying near your location.
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 Tiles
Aviation-focused turbulence tiles add another layer for pilots and travelers watching rough-air potential around active weather.
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 rain reach my route 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 making go/no-go decisions for jobs, practices, or outdoor plans.
Aviation weather and storm analysis
Question: What is the structure, trend, or turbulence risk around this weather?
Use NEXRAD, MRMS, satellite imagery, and turbulence tiles to inspect storm evolution beyond a basic consumer radar map.
Radar learning path
Learn the radar signals, then track storms locally
WeatherAI's radar pages connect the app feature to practical explainers. Start with radar motion and colors, then use local storm tracker pages when you need city-specific weather context.

Frequently Asked Questions
What makes WeatherAI an AI weather radar app?
WeatherAI uses real radar and satellite imagery from named data sources; AI does not generate the radar picture. The app connects those maps with forecasts, alerts, summaries, and weather chat so users can ask follow-up questions and interpret conditions in context.
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 4-6 minutes and MRMS composites are produced every 2 minutes at the source. What you see in the app also depends on the product, your region, your plan, and network conditions, so treat those source cadences as typical rather than guaranteed. Every layer shows its own issue time.
What radar products are available?
WeatherAI offers products such as ECCC radar in Canada and, in supported U.S. views, NEXRAD Level 3, MRMS, GOES satellite imagery, lightning, model layers, and turbulence guidance. 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.
