Somewhat related, what are some good weather sites for storm monitoring? I've been using ventusky[0] for rain forecasts and mrms[1] for storm and hail conditions. Is there anything better?

The Storm prediction center[1] is always my goto. After that I check the Mesoscale Precipitation discussions[2].

I really like https://www.windy.com/


Windy.com allows you to compare models, which varies based on the region you have zoomed in to.

This is really handy as national models can be much better for short-term and higher resolution predictions.

It has the widest range of models freely available that I'm aware of, including the commercial ECMWF model.


This is also my go-to, for storms and just general forecasts for sailing.


My favorite is Flowx[0]. Disclaimer: I'm bias since I'm the developer.

Globally, we have GFS (FV3) and GDPS in the free version, and DWD ICON in pro.

For north America, we have NAM 12km, NAM 3km, HRRR, RDPS, HRDPS in Pro

For Europe, we have DWD ICON EU, DWD COSMO-D2, ARPEGE, AROME and HIRLAM in Pro.

If you double-tapping of a graph, you can compare the forecasts quite easily.

Sorry there is no iOS or web version, nor ECMWF (it's too costly).

The forums really light up for big storms with lots of discussion and insight.
