Live Radar

Professional-grade animated weather radar with layer controls, NWS alert overlays, and buttery-smooth playback — right in your pocket.

Live Radar

Animated Playback

Breeze loads multiple frames of radar data and plays them back with frame interpolation for silky-smooth animation. Watch precipitation systems move across the map in real time. The pre-loader ensures all frames are ready before playback begins — no stuttering, no gaps.

  • Frame interpolation at 60fps for smooth transitions between radar snapshots
  • Pre-loading with progress indicator so playback is seamless
  • Scrub manually through frames or let them auto-play in a loop

Layer Toggles

Stack different data layers to build your ideal radar view. Toggle the precipitation radar on and off, overlay NWS alert polygons to see warning boundaries, or switch to a satellite base layer for cloud coverage context. Each layer can be independently controlled.

NWS Alert Polygons

When severe weather warnings are active, Breeze draws the official NWS alert polygons directly on the radar map. Tornado warnings, severe thunderstorm warnings, flash flood warnings — each type is color-coded so you can instantly see what's happening and where.

Playback Controls

Customize your radar experience with adjustable loop duration (1 hour, 3 hours, or 6 hours of history) and playback speed (slow, normal, or fast). Choose from multiple color palettes to match your preference — from the classic green-to-red spectrum to high-contrast and accessible options.

  • Loop duration: 1 hour, 3 hours, or 6 hours
  • Playback speed: 0.5x, 1x, or 2x
  • Multiple color palettes for precipitation intensity
  • Satellite base layer toggle for cloud context

Interactive Map

Pinch to zoom, pan to explore. The radar is rendered on a full interactive MapKit map, so you get the same fluid gesture handling you expect from Apple Maps. Your current location is always centered by default, but you can explore any region.
