Spotter Tools Pro is a severe weather app for everyone who watches the sky — weather enthusiasts, storm chasers, and trained spotters. Get GPU-rendered NEXRAD radar, live wind flow, soundings, lightning, satellite, worldwide tropical, IBW alerts, live storm chasers, and thousands of live cameras. Spotters and chasers also get Spotter Network reporting, a GPS beacon, Chaser Mode, and opt-in Presence. No ads, no analytics, no subscription. SPOTTER NETWORK REPORTING, DONE RIGHT Tornado, funnel cloud, rotating wall cloud, hail, measured wind, flood, flash flood, and damage — each with the exact fields Spotter Network expects. Reports queue offline and auto-upload on reconnect. GPS BEACON Foreground + background beacon to Spotter Network. Configurable interval, encrypted credentials, auto-restart on boot. RADAR — LEVEL 2, LEVEL III & TDWR GPU-rendered and crisp at any zoom. Single-site Level 2 decoded on-device — Reflectivity, Velocity, CC, Echo Tops — plus WSR-88D Level III velocity/reflectivity, dual-pol ZDR + HCA, storm tracks, mesocyclone rotation, and the 45-site TDWR network. Plus dual-view split-screen compare. 16 .pal color tables, or import yours. ANIMATED & COMPOSITE RADAR Loop recent volumes (play, scrub, speed). Add a CONUS MRMS mosaic — up to 12-hour playback, retina imagery, QC'd base reflectivity. LIVE WIND & SOUNDINGS Animated surface-wind flow — speed-colored particles streaming live across the map. 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 satellite (Infrared, Water Vapor, Visible, GeoColor) with animation; and worldwide tropical — outlook areas plus named-storm cones, model spaghetti tracks, intensity, and TS-force wind arrival times. WEATHER MODELS Overlay HRRR and GFS guidance — reflectivity, temp, wind, CAPE, precip — with a time bar and legend. LIVE STORM CHASERS Watch major chasers stream live via YouTube and Facebook Live, right on the map. Live badges show who's live.
