01 · RADAR
Radar that updates every two minutes.
The radar comes from NOAA and refreshes every two minutes. You can scrub back through the day or ahead into the forecast on the same timeline, and warnings are drawn on the map where they apply.

Radar · forecasts · snow
A clear weather map, built on public data.
wxdeck started as a personal project: one map with the radar, the satellite and a few forecast models side by side, with nothing in the way. It is in private beta and free to use while it is being finished.

What's on the map
02 · OVERLAYS
Temperature, pressure, clouds, snow and more.
Each overlay moves with the timeline, so you can watch a front come through or a snow line drop instead of guessing from a single map. The legend always matches what is drawn.
03 · WIND
Wind at the surface and at altitude.
Wind is animated, so you can see where it is going rather than read arrows. You can step up through nine altitudes, which is useful in the mountains and on the water.
04 · SATELLITE
Satellite underneath the radar.
Satellite imagery sits under the radar on the same timeline, in colour during the day and infrared at night.
Winter
Snow
How much snow, not how much water
Most forecasts assume ten inches of snow for every inch of water. That is often wrong. wxdeck works out the ratio from the temperature through the air column, hour by hour, and shows what each model thinks.
What actually fell
Snowfall over the last one, two and three days, on the map, from the same analysis the forecast offices use. Also snow depth, the freezing level, and whether the radar is seeing rain or snow.
Coming this winter
Mountain snow stations on the map, a better snow level, and an alert when a place you have saved is about to get snow.
Pricing
wxdeck is free while it is in beta. When subscriptions open, the people who were here early will pay less. This is the shape of the plans; nothing is for sale yet.

Questions
More in the disclaimer.
- Is this an official source?
- No. The data comes from NOAA and the National Weather Service, but wxdeck is not connected to either. If safety is involved, go to weather.gov and your local authorities.
- Where does the data come from?
- Public sources: NOAA's radar and satellite feeds, the National Weather Service, and forecast models that government weather agencies publish openly. The full list is on the credits page.
- What area is covered?
- Radar covers the lower 48 states, with Alaska, Hawaii and Canada in progress. Forecasts cover North America. There is no radar for Europe or Asia.
- How accurate is it?
- As accurate as the models are. Rather than give one number, wxdeck shows several models at once so you can see when they agree and when they do not. Past forecasts are also checked against what happened, and the results are published.
- Does it work on a phone?
- Yes, in the browser. There is no app to install.
