Willing to pay for the app! I'd like something that's easy to see where the hail is. Thanks in advance!

MyRadar Pro

My absolute favorite after living in OKC is ATsWeatherToGo
Created by Aaron Tuttle whom I believe is an Ag. Radar is great..You can set it up to provide alerts for multiple locations and his algorithms have been proven to warn of tornados prior to NWS alerts.
Living in Frisco now, it's been on the money for accurate alerts whether that be lightning, rotating storms, tornado, hail, etc.

There was a recent thread on just this topic. I downloaded stormradar on sereal peoples recommendation. A week or so later I started getting messages that it would be taken off the play store in June....

I've been using Radarscope Pro for a few years now and you would need to be a turbo weather nerd to understand what half of it means. Great app and very cheap.

Dark Sky for iOS.

I use RadarScope Pro. It gives me severe alerts and I can go through multiple products to find the info I want. In my opinion, it's not bloated down with junk like WeatherBug or other apps that have a radar saddled to them. RadarScope is nothing but a radar.

All the pay to use apps just steal the same available to you data from NOAA and NWS satellites and radars.

There is no comparison to Radar Scope's radar, it is fantastic. I combine it with Weather Channel weather forecast / updates.

They're not stealing the data. NOAA has to provide the data for free as required by their government mandate. All of the NWS offices use radarscope for their social media posts.

As stated it's not stealing data, we're paying for them to take the publicly available data into a user-friendly interface on a phone. NOAA and NWS sites suck on your phone.

What is the best App for tornado alerts/warnings I have RadarScope Pro which is a great radar, but cannot figure out if they can send push notification warnings to my phone.

If you are somewhat competent in interpreting radar, Radarscope is great for hi-res radar. Im pretty sure it lacks push notifications though. Pretty dang user friendly

Just about every storm chaser uses it and the NWS uses it for sending out radar updates on twitter during severe events.

If you spend a little time to learn how to interpret radar, velocity & correlation coefficient (for tornadoes), and vertically elevated liquid (for hail)....you can generally understand and predict damn near every warning before the NWS issues them.

I use WeatherRadio for push notifications and also NWS has an app I use. Those are the quickest and most accurate. Others like WeatherBug an weather channel make up their own forecasts or cut and paste from some other source. I find them to be least accurate. For what it's worth, forecasts are kind of important to me since I prefer not to have someone's roof ripped off with faulty data.

Those are what we use.

Radarscope Pro for mobile.

Texas Storm Chasers radar for Desktop.

Thanks. Been staying in a travel camper during the week for work and need something that will alert my phone to any immediate tornado threat. A tornado killed some people a few years ago at the place I am staying...

Honestly, If I were you, I'd have an actual weather radio like this:

Sangean CL-100 NOAA, S.A.M.E and Public Alert Certified Weather Alert Table-Top Radio with AM/FM-RBDS, and EEPROM Back Up for Preset Stations https://www.amazon.com/dp/B003QHXZM4/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_glt_fabc_E8CZ7QE7W7CB79JVH9Y5


I have this one but there are others that are just as good or maybe better. Either way, cell phones die, power goes out, this thing gets instant notices along with weekly tests. It runs in AC power with battery backup. I love technology but I like redundancy when my life is at stake. Gnometalmbout.

I've been using wX on android (it used to be called PYKL3) Takes a little getting used to on the interface but the radar tools are very good.

Is there an app for a Tiger Alert?

Is is the best? ... IDK, but I use RadarNow! App.

I had PYKL3 for awhile, well really I just deleted it a year or so ago after having it for years, I liked it but RadarScope just got so much better. that I never was using it anymore. But you are right, once you got used to the interface it was good

First time in tornado country out on the great plains.

Lived all over the world and seen all kinds of crazy ****, but I had a wild ass storm pass over last night that beat anything I've ever seen.

I'm looking for 5-7 minutes warning before the **** about to go down at my specific location. No drama.

Downloaded Dark Sky. Seems legit. Not overloaded with features. It has for push notifications from the NWS for only severe weather alerts where you at.

Im tempted to buy a weather radio with battery backup and with SAME technology.

I got my phone and all notifications settings off at night. After a number of years in the military and being on call 24/7 nothing pisses me off more than alarms going off unnecessarily.

Tech is great, but I'm thinking old school weather radio might be the way to go, especially if cell towers and power gets knocked out somewhere upstream.

Download ATS Weather to go. You won't be sorry.

Couple of commercial pilot buddies and this is what they use outside of the cockpit.

Still looking at Wx radios with SAME technology which limits alerts only in your specific geographic area.

Looking for a feature that doesn't broadcast or auto silences systemwide tests.

I don't want the thing to make a peep unless **** about to go Wizard of Oz.
