No more weather surprises with WeatherTAP, the fastest weather on the web. With weatherTAP, you get the quickest, most current NEXRAD radar and a complete aviation weather package. There's detailed lightning data as well as high-resolution East (GOES-12) and West (GOES-10) satellite images. Plus, you get forums, up-to-date forecasts, surface data, and colorized, animated maps: local, state, regional, and national coverage. Over 9,000 graphic products.
WeatherTAP continually monitors their data streams, processes images and makes them available online within seconds. No delays. No old images with new time stamps. With a WeatherTAP subscription you get the quickest, most current, accurate radar and weather available.
Other weather sites typically review their radar and satellite sources at periodic, fixed intervals (usually 20 or more minutes). Images are commonly copied and stamped with new times—whether they are actually updated or not. Not so with WeatherTAP.
WeatherTAP updates its images every six minutes (the time it takes a NEXRAD radar antenna to make a complete sweep of the sky). By constantly monitoring, WeatherTAP has a distinctly-unique advantage over its competitors. We can immediately detect updates as they occur. The new images are downloaded, processed, and made available on the web within a matter of seconds.
The bottom line? The most current weather, faster. WeatherTAP is the closest thing to real-time weather on the Internet, which makes it well worth the nominal cost, only $6.95 per month! Subscribe for a year at $73.95 and SAVE MORE THAN 10% off the monthly price! Either way, it's just pennies a day.
WeatherTAP is divided into six major components: Local Weather, NEXRAD Doppler Radar, Satellite, Lightning, Aviation, and Severe Weather.
From a national map, Local Weather allows you to select a state then a local area for current conditions, current and extended zone forecasts, plus any weather alerts. You can also view selected radar sites in the area, as well as state and regional radar. In addition, there are satellite images, plus regional surface data and lightning strikes.
NEXRAD Doppler Radar is Next Generation Weather Radar, the latest technology of the National Weather Service. In this section, you can view the colorized national, regional and state radar maps, and any of approximately 144 local radar maps. Animated maps include a loop of eight distinctive images that cover periods from about one to four hours. There's even a Radar Tutorial!
In the Satellite section, you can view high-resolution regional and national satellite images from both the GOES-12 (East) and GOES-10 (West) weather satellites. Included are animated map and satellite views, plus a Satellite Imagery Tutorial.
The Lightning component includes national and regional maps showing the location of lightning strikes which have occurred. The maps are animated and the strikes are color-coded by age, from 12 to 110 minutes.
Aviation Weather features a variety of color-enhanced weather graphics with decoding guides. Included is a series of images under NWS Data Plots, Composite Moisture Stability, Observed Winds and Temps, Surface Prognosis and Live Data. Also featured is a full suite of printable text products, plus a customized Route Briefing section. A convenient DTC DUAT link enables you to file flight plans quickly and easily.
