Description
"Storm Guard" is a free application that provides real-time, early-warning notifications when rain or snow is detected near your location. This application is the go-to app for weather detection and storm cell analysis!
In this application, you will gain access to:
RAIN AND SNOW PROXIMITY ALARM
- Storm Guard sends prompt notifications when any precipitation such as rain or snow enters your detection area. Open the app to refresh your location and to analyze any incoming weather systems. You can also choose to leave the app open and enable the "follow location" option, which will auto-center the map and update your location as you move! Closing or minimizing the app will lock your location in place.
-Customize the detection sensitivity by adjusting the detection area, minimum intensity threshold, and notification frequency within the application settings. You can always opt out of notifications in settings as well. Storm Guard currently provides rain and snow proximity detection for continental US locations and parts of Canada.
WEATHER SYSTEM AND STORM CELL ANALYSIS
-Storm Guard will scan and place a magenta circle over the most significant weather within the detection area. Click this circle to view the complete cell analysis including average precipitation intensity, maximum precipitation intensity, storm area, and distance from your location.
-Analyze weather systems anywhere on the map by panning and zooming over any visible precipitation radar data.
-View complete details of every cell within the detection area by using the weather details inspector (magnifying glass icon in the bottom-left of the map screen). Storm Guard currently provides weather cell analysis for continental US locations and parts of Canada.
SHORT TERM WEATHER FORECAST
-The weather details inspector also provides a short term forecast for the area. This feature lists any possible weather phenomena that may be occurring within the next three hours. Pan and zoom around the map to get short term forecasts anywhere on the map. Storm Guard currently provides short term forecasts for continental US locations.
WEATHER DATA OVERLAYS WITH LOOPING
-Gain access to a variety of weather overlays to view on the map. You can animate (loop) each overlay to get a time lapse representation of the data.
- Get the latest weather reports for the observation station nearest to the map's center point, or pan and zoom around the map to get observations from any METAR reporting station! Check the current temperature, dew point, humidity, weather conditions, wind, and more! Storm Guard provides station observation data globally!
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE ALERT BULLETINS
- Get bulletins for any active weather alerts issued by the National Weather Service such as severe thunderstorm warnings, winter storm warnings, hurricane warnings, and more. Pan and zoom around the map to get bulletins for other locations (relative to the map's center point). A red weather icon will appear on the map when any alerts are detected. Click this icon to view a list of alerts and their bulletin information. Storm Guard currently provides weather alert information for US locations including Alaska and Hawaii.

HORRIBLE APP! Put this radar up next to 2 other apps-1 paid & 1 free app, & found out that this app is not even close to a safe alternative let alone the main app I'd EVER use for updated information on local weather. This app is missing lots of data as in it's not showing the whole storm or even the correct weather that's happening real time. My other apps show a bigger storm than what is illustrated on this application. & those other 2 apps have dual-pol & local radar options too. 0 ⭐ rating.

I'm so happy this app. Is back to download. Most accurate weather app. Just an idea, how about telling people that severe storms at this Dbz. And a really severe storms go as high as 60Dbz.

The radar image does not accurately show rain. I was stood in putting rain and the radar showered nothing within 50 miles. Insufficient.
★★☆☆☆Anthony C· Aug 6, 2019
Its different, but limited to one storm cell that it decides to focus on. I could have 3 storm cells inside the detection area. It will only focus on (one) the strongest of the 3, which could be furthest away. There is no way to choose which storm cell you want info on, say the closest one. Sometimes it will list more cells using the Weather System Inspector Button, but lacks storm cell identifiers.

Worked fine for a couple of days. Now no notifications for rain. Active rain present in circle. 2 other storm apps notification working fine. This app needs to be updated. Last update 9/19. Has it been abandoned??
★☆☆☆☆Mickey Lewis· Aug 7, 2021
Radar shows what has already past up to current time, but it doesn't show anything for an hour from current time. I don't need to see where the weather was an hour ago, I need to see where it is expected to be an hour from no. Uninstalling.
