About
Spotter Tools Pro is a severe weather app for weather enthusiasts, storm chasers, and trained spotters. GPU-rendered NEXRAD radar, live wind flow, soundings, lightning, satellite, worldwide tropical, air quality, five forecast models, IBW alerts, live chasers, and thousands of live cameras. Spotters and chasers also get Spotter Network reporting, a GPS beacon, Chaser Mode, and opt-in Presence. Buy once. No subscription, no ads, no third-party trackers. SPOTTER NETWORK REPORTING, DONE RIGHT! Tornado, funnel cloud, wall cloud, hail, measured wind, flood, flash flood, and damage, each with the exact fields Spotter Network expects. Reports queue offline and auto-upload. GPS BEACON Foreground and background beacon to Spotter Network. Configurable interval and encrypted credentials. RADAR: LEVEL 2, LEVEL III & TDWR GPU-rendered and crisp at any zoom. Single-site Level 2 decoded on-device: Reflectivity, Velocity, Correlation Coefficient, Spectrum Width, and Storm-Relative Velocity. Plus WSR-88D Level III, dual-pol (ZDR, CC, KDP, HCA), derived products (VIL, Digital Precip Rate, rotation), storm tracks, mesocyclone and TVS markers, a VAD Wind Profile, and the 45-site TDWR network. Add a Mesoanalysis layer (SPC-style severe parameters) and a Storm Cell Deep Dive. Dual-view split-screen compare. 16 .pal color tables, or import your own. ANIMATED & COMPOSITE RADAR Loop recent volumes (play, scrub, speed). Add a GPU-crisp CONUS MRMS mosaic drawn from the full product catalog, including the FLASH flash-flood suite, with up to 12-hour playback and tap-to-read values. LIVE WIND & SOUNDINGS Animated surface-wind flow, speed-colored particles streaming live. Plus on-device skew-T soundings, hodographs, and full analysis: tap anywhere for a profile (balloon or HRRR). LIGHTNING, SATELLITE & TROPICAL Live GOES GLM lightning; GOES East and West satellite (Infrared, Water Vapor, Visible, GeoColor) with a radar-synced cloud loop; and worldwide tropical: outlook areas, storm cones, spaghetti tracks, intensity, and wind-arrival times. WEATHER MODELS Overlay HRRR, GFS, RRFS, NAM, and ECMWF guidance (reflectivity, temp, wind, CAPE, precip) with a time bar and legend. OBSERVATIONS & LAYERS RTMA surface observations (temperature, dew point, theta-e, wind, gusts), MRMS observed precipitation, METARs, EPA AirNow air quality, and WPC surface fronts and pressure centers, all on the map. LIVE STORM CHASERS Watch major chasers stream live via YouTube and Facebook Live, right on the map. Live badges show who's on air. LIVE TRAFFIC & SKY CAMERAS Tens of thousands of DOT cameras across 37 states, plus FAA, Windy, NOAA buoy, USGS volcano, NPS, ALERTWildfire, and curated webcams. Live video where offered, stills elsewhere; fullscreen, facing-aware, source picker. SMART PUSH ALERTS Background NWS warnings with a polygon preview. Filter modes: Standard, Outbreak, and PDS/Emergency only. Watch zones: current location, home, city, state, or nationwide. Severe-alert tone, plus optional Critical Alerts so a Tornado Emergency or PDS warning sounds through silent mode and Focus. Each warning shows an estimated population inside the polygon. NWS & SPC ON THE MAP - 50+ NWS warning polygons, toggleable - Tornado and severe thunderstorm watch boxes - SPC Mesoscale Discussions and WPC flood discussions, full text on tap - Outlooks: convective Day 1 to 8, thunderstorm, excessive rainfall, fire weather, winter storm severity, CPC 6 to 10 day, drought - SPC storm reports plus the live Spotter Network feed MORE City and place search, long-press map menu, distance and bearing tools, freehand drawing, storm-track projection, and control chips. Optional account and opt-in Presence to see other users on the map. Per-event colors, county and state lines, 6 themes (OLED black).

What's new · 1.0.61
RADAR TIME MACHINE The map now has a second clock. Pick a date and a time and the radar loop loads as it was at that instant, with storm tracks and mesocyclone markers along for the ride. • Level III reaches March 2022 and keeps its full loop ladder. Level II reaches 2017 on a shorter one, and the picker tells you the download size before you spend it. • Archive is a mode, not a layer. One clock governs every feed that has history, and layers with none switch off rather than sitting on live data under a past tense banner. • Pick the time zone you are thinking in. Local, UTC, Eastern, Central, Mountain, Arizona, Pacific, Alaska and Hawaii, with a same moment line cross referencing UTC so a lookup that rolled past midnight is obvious. • Everything that reads a value follows the clock, including storm relative velocity, the cross section and the wind profile. SHARE ANY LOOP AS A GIF OR MP4 Record what is on screen and hand it to the share sheet. Single site radar, the national composite, satellite, weather models and air quality. Pick a size, see the estimated file size first, and every frame carries a stamp so the loop still says what it is once it has left the app. LONGER RADAR LOOPS Level III loops now reach about eight hours. Frames are kept compact and expanded only when shown, so a deep loop fits in memory, loads faster and plays smoothly. OFFLINE MAPS Download a basemap area ahead of time and roads, town names and your GPS position keep working with no signal. Settings, Base Map, Offline Maps. A PROPER VISUAL PASS • Bundled typefaces, so the app looks the same on every platform and every number lines up in a column • Colour over the map is now reserved for data. Chrome that encodes no value is drawn neutral, which stops a blue chip sitting on a blue radar return. Sheets and settings keep every theme's identity • The bottom of the map got its space back: shorter home row, tighter legends, and the scale bar finally sits above the chrome instead of floating • You can hide the bottom bar on the Map tab and hand its height back to the map • Fresh installs now open in Midnight Black on the Blue Nav basemap. If you have ever picked a theme or basemap, nothing changes for you WEATHER MODELS Ten products were painting colour with no scale beside them, including 1 km reflectivity and updraft helicity on the flagship CONUS models. All ten now have a legend that matches the pixels. Several products also stopped resampling blocky at high zoom. SOUNDINGS GFS joins the model picker, which covers Alaska, Hawaii, Puerto Rico and offshore where HRRR has no data. ALSO Basemaps can now be added or updated without an app release, the announcement card stopped throwing layout errors on launch, and there is a new premium avatar.
