An app designed by and for weather enthusiasts, NOAA SuperRes Radar is the only app in that offers access to stunningly beautiful super hi-resolution radar mosaics for the continental US. SuperRes radar has 4 times the resolution of typical weather radar products (250 meters vs 1000 meters), so you will be able to view storm features that cant be viewed in ordinary radar apps. No other app delivers radar mosaics with this kind of accuracy in such an easy to use package.

In addition to SuperRes Level 2 radar, NOAA RadarUS+ offers access to 3 km hourly forecast radar and the following features:

- 3 and 6 day precipitation and pressure forecasts from NOAA weather models
- Temperature overlay
- Snow/mixed precipitation display (only on 1km base reflectivity radar layer)
- 7 day forecasts and current conditions -- just press and hold for a second on the radar map.
- Severe weather (flash flood, tornado, and severe thunderstorm) warnings. Tap on a warning box to display the full warning message from the National Weather Service. Note: these are *not* push alerts. The app must be open to view the warnings.
- Cloud cover and satellite imagery for the continental United States
- Advanced radar layers (echo tops, composite reflectivity, and storm total precipitation).
- Play, pause, and step animations
- Fast zoom in and zoom out
- Choice of radar palettes
- Multiple map styles (terrain, map, satellite, and hybrid)
- Displays time of radar image either as absolute time or relative to the current time
- GPS locator that finds and displays your current location
- Adjust the transparency (opacity) of the radar or cloud cover overlays
- Radar clutter filtering and smoothing
- Automatic refresh when new radar or cloud cover data is available
- Search for a location by zip code, city name, or address
- Legend for radar and cloud cover overlays
- Saves and restores your last location and zoom level

Note: Radar coverage only includes the continental United States. Alaska, Hawaii, and other US controlled territories are not included.

Pros and cons of NOAA SuperRes Radar US app for iPhone and iPad

NOAA SuperRes Radar US app good for

Ideal for amateur and professional weather geeks like myself.

As a retired meteorologist I like to stay up to date with the latest radar. This app does just that!

This is a great app, with many viewing options. I especially like the predictive radar, plus the storm warning boxes, storm direction lines, and temperatures. Much better radar than WeatherBug.

Worth the price for no ads. Ive seen nasty weather conditions from about 8 hours out and been able to prepare. Keep updating and keep the 5 stars.

I have used this radar app for more than a year. It tells me what I need to know and it makes me happy. I have it on iPhone which is good and on iPad which is great. I live in tornado alley, but I can tell more than storms. I love the satellite views, I watch weather develop in pacific.

Good app, great graphics. Needs to have a "future", button as to what and where the rain is going to hit.

Some bad moments

Very useful App which I use quite often especially with all the rain and bad weather we have had this year.

Very accurate radar. The warning areas are nicely outlined too.

As a horse trainer and riding instructor this app is my go to weather information to a plan my lesson day around...I really like that it gives me a 6 hour window which really helps me

This app has worked really well for me. No problems at all with very accurate info.

Moved from Seattle to Miami & got this app specifically for weather watching. Its good enough that Ill keep using it after I move back to Seattle.

This has become one of my top 3 weather apps. Definitely worthwhile.
