I use Ventusky. You have to do your own interepretation, but it's radar, models, winds, etc. woodsprite May 2022 #1

It's a webpage at https://www.ventusky.com/

It's fun to play with all the views/filters (on the left), and the timeline (at the bottom of the page).

On my phone I have NOAA and WeatherBug. I did have Accuweather, but they updated their app and now I hate it.

I use Weather Underground's wundermap. I use NOAA or Ventusky as well.

I prefer apps. My favorite is Wx. I'm a storm chaser and I like the extra options for radar as well as everything else. Plus, it's free. I currently don't have any paid apps, but I would use RadarScope or Radar Omega if I did.

Radar Omega looks cool - apparently it's pretty popular with a some storm chasers. Probably not worth it though unless you know how to interpret doppler radar and CC drops.

I don't really care for the new NWS radar maps - I felt like the old version had better resolution when it came to reflectivity. Plus the lag in applying layers or switching radars with the new NWS map is kinda meh.

I can interpret the varieties of radar. A ton of chasers use RO, but RS is still popular. I found that Wx is very satisfactory so I have stayed with that. I'm a PA chaser, though. If I was hitting the plains during tornadoes season, I'd likely have allllll the apps. 🤣
