Live Radar
Animated precipitation radar across the U.S. Use this to plan haul departures, ride windows, and shelter timing.
Past 2 hours of observed precipitation; future frames are forecast nowcasts (less reliable beyond 30 min). Tiles courtesy of RainViewer — derived from NWS NEXRAD with their proprietary nowcast layer.
Most-recent NEXRAD base reflectivity composite (auto-refreshes every 5 min). U.S.-only. Tiles courtesy of Iowa Environmental Mesonet — composited from NWS NEXRAD raw feeds (federal public domain).
Always pair radar with current NWS alerts before making safety calls. Radar shows precipitation only — not lightning, hail, or tornado warnings.
