Radar ƒ is a great application for iPhone and iPad that displays high-resolution predictive weather radar around your current location, allowing you to quickly see what weather is coming your way. Radar Sky proprietary radar mosaics provide radar imagery at the highest resolution on different zoom levels.
Radar Sky gives you up-to-date animated radar imagery from the National Weather Service, with coverage for all 50 US states (and Puerto Rico and Guam!).
Radar Sky is recommended for those who are interested in weather, astronomy, aviation, hunting, fishing, travel, own or work on a farm or ranch, a private or vacation home, or work or play in a weather-sensitive environment or industry.
The radars cannot determine precipitation type (such as rain or snow). Radar Sky uses special algorithms to delineate between rain and snow.
Radar Sky shows animated weather, so you can tell if rain is headed toward or away from you, and how fast.
A weather radar is used to locate precipitation, calculate its motion, estimate its type (rain, snow, hail, etc.), and forecast its future position and intensity. Radar Sky shows tornado, rain, snow, and hail clouds movement on zoomable maps around your location in real time.
Precipitation type is indicated by the color. Green color indicates lesser precipitation while the yellow color code indicates intense precipitations. The color code red is indicative of the most intense precipitations. Blue color indicates snow.

* Full, animated radar from the NWS for the entire U.S.

Latest reviews of Radar Sky - NOAA Weather Radar app for iPhone and iPad
I enjoy looking at the radar views of weather. This app had been accurate and informative.
This app does exactly what it says it will, local or wider ranges.
Dont get this if you have eWeather, made by the same developer. Looks the exact same as eWeather radar without the additional features.
Radars cannot distinguish between snow and rain. This app shows radar in blocks making it very unrealistic. Worthless to those of us living in changeable weather climates.
Very slow to load and bad resolution. Doesnt load at all sometimes.
