NWS Weather: Deep Weather
Description
The in-depth meteorological reasoning and details behind your local weather forecast, straight from the experts at NOAA/NWS. Deep Weather provides the deep, detailed meteorological reasoning behind your forecast, along with the various factors that are likely to influence it. Knowing this deeper weather information arms you with the knowledge to anticipate weather changes and adjust your plans accordingly. Deep Weather respects your privacy. Deep Weather doesn't track or store your location information, or any other data about you. (See privacy disclosure below). Deep Weather has no ads that distract and clutter up your weather information. Rather it relies on optional Pro subscriptions from our loyal users to pay the bills. Deep Weather provides you with a deeper understanding of your weather forecast by giving you weather details not commonly found in other apps in a convenient, easy-to-read package. Deep Weather automatically compiles an easy-to-read version of the most recent National Weather Service Area Forecast Discussion, advisories and warnings for your location. The National Weather Service Area Forecast Discussions provide detailed information and background about the weather patterns and observations that are part of the most recent forecast model. They represent the "Story behind the weather story," a glimpse behind the scenes of your current forecast, and provide lots of weather forecast detail not found anywhere else. Included sections: Aviation Weather Fire Weather Climatology Marine Weather Beach Forecast Watches, Warnings Short Term Forecast Long Term Forecast To help provide a more visual picture, Deep Weather also provides easy access to a curated list of the most up-to-date weather graphics: National Forecast Chart, Surface Analysis, IR Satellite, Current Radar, Pacific and Atlantic Ocean surface analysis, 500mb graphical forecasts and more. For Pro subscribers/owners, Deep Weather includes live animated radar rendered from National Weather Service source data. In addition, Deep Weather provides localized 7-day extended forecasts from the National Weather Service for any location in the United States and its territories. Deep Weather provides great value in helping you anticipate and adjust to changes in the weather that you might not have been aware of if limited to other weather sources. By understanding the factors and assumptions that are part of the official forecast and how changes in those factors could affect the outcome, you are armed with a much deeper and more flexible understanding of the weather around you. This is highly valuable in aviation, sailing, long distance hiking and any other outdoor endeavor where changes in the weather can have great impact. Use the map view to select any National Weather Service Forecast Office and receive the latest forecast discussion for that area. The discussion is broken up into sections for you, and the text itself formatted in a much more easily read format than the raw original. These discussions and weather graphics are amended and updated several times per day, so you can follow how the weather forecast is changing in real time, as well as gain a deeper understanding of the thought that goes into forming the forecast.

User Reviews
I am a pilot whom flies in/out of the California coastal areas often. Deep Wx is spot on with fog forecasting with 80% accuracy rate. I like the long term outlook layout and can get a good synopsis of the days ahead in just 60 seconds of reading. Great job!
Use it every day!
Really fun to get more in depth answers to if it’s going to rain!!
I love this app so easy for me at 75 yrs old to manipulate and read what weather is coming in advance to prepare.
I was a weather observer and forecaster in the Air Force, then forecaster as a civilian totaling 17 years. It’s good to have some real tools to use again. Only wish I had access to 00Z and 12Z satellite of US, a 200mb chart, and maybe votive analysis/forecast. The discussion is familiar and useful.
Accurate information
It is fantastic to get to read every day the professional opinions of the detailed forecasts, model likelihoods, and event probabilities in the region. It certainly contributes to our abilities to to our jobs and a medical flight crew. Thanks!
this app is good. better details then the regular apple weather app. but the apple weather app is more convenient
I check in most everyday to see what to expect on the weather scene. It is very accurate, if a little technical, and lets me plan my day or rearrange my schedule. A valuable tool for all.
Great app to use. Very detailed in reporting. Much deeper information provided. Excellent for storm chasers and or beginners wanted to learn more. Highly recommend.
