Jbaker0024 Posted July 19, 2013 Share Posted July 19, 2013 Are there any websites or apps with radar that will show the rainfall for an extended amount of time? Like instead of showing the past 2 hours in 5 frames, one that shows the past 24 hours in 60 for instance? If a page like that even exist.

wxmeddler Posted July 19, 2013 Share Posted July 19, 2013 Welcome to AmWx! When you mean "rainfall" do you mean estimated accumulated rainfall based on radar measurements (ex. 1.2") or reflectivity like what you see on tv (reds/yellows etc.)?

Turtle Posted July 20, 2013 Share Posted July 20, 2013 Hello and welcome! You should be able to go to your local NWS office's website and find their radar page. Once there, they should have the latest and a loop for the storm total precip. They should also have a current and loop of the 1-hour precip to give you an idea of precip rates in heavy thunderstorms. Not the greatest resolution, but it's available. Not sure about free apps...I'm sure there must be some out there. Just got an Android phone (woo hoo!!!), so hope to get that on it shortly once I figure out how to use the thing!! Hope this helps. Have fun here, and don't let the trolls get to ya! --Turtle (AKA EVT @ WFO BOX) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jbaker0024 Posted July 20, 2013 Author Share Posted July 20, 2013 Haha thanks. I have an outstanding app that I bought called Radarscope. It's got everything, four different tilts, all kinds of different Radar modes. You name it. However it doesn't have any Radar that shows more than the past two or three hours. There is one option to view the past 20 frames which is great. I'm looking for something that might could show the past 24 hours, if that even exist?

Once on that page, on the right side below the mini-map, you'll find a radar loop archive for any date. Alternatively, you can go here and get up to the past 12 hours in a loop.
