This page contains data mostly for StormLab 3.x and will be
updated shortly for StormLab 4.0. We encourage you to click the
download trial version link above and test drive the software.
Version 4.0 contains dozens of new features and
capabilities.
StormLab is the FIRST publicly available
software to take advantage of the full National Weather Service
Doppler radar imagery suite. StormLab turns any internet connection
into a unique and comprehensive display system for National Weather
Service Doppler radars. With access to over 150 radar sites
across the entire US, you will have instant access to nearly 2 dozen
products including reflectivity, velocity, storm relative velocity,
VAD Wind Profiles, precipitation estimates, storm cell data, and
MUCH more.StormLab's full-featured interface
includes looping, zooming, and overlays of cities, county names,
highways, mesocyclones, tornado vortex signatures, and even GPS
tracking! Everything is customizable, right down to the color
tables used to display the images. Setup visual and audio
alarms to alert you of the most severe storms! StormLab's
auto-ingest engine allows you to store radar data from interesting
events while you're away, and then go back to view the data anytime!
Why settle for monthly data fees and pre-manufactured radar imagery?
We guarantee this will blow away any radar software or internet
viewer you've ever seen! Why settle for anything less than software
written by meteorologists.
