| The initial aspect of this application that should get mentioned is the Home Alerts. Home Alerts allows the user to select a location on the map. If a Tornado Warning or Sever Thunderstorm Warning is issued for this location, the application will alert the user by sound and a pop-up. The current method the application alerts the user is based on County, State. A future update will change this to Latitude and Longitude, making this feature even more accurate. | The initial aspect of this application that should get mentioned is the Home Alerts.

| + | |||
| + | The application has several different types of Radar and Modes to view. The initial radar when the application is opened is the National Radar (USCOMP). This radar view is generated by combining the 130+ individual RADARs that comprise the NEXRAD network. | ||
| + | |||
| + | Additionally, the application has markers for each radar. There are two different radar types that are displayed on the map. Those radar types are: | ||
| + | |||
| + | * NEXRAD (WSR-88D) | ||
| + | * TDWR | ||
| + | |||
| + | Clicking a single radar will zoom to that location and display the initial radar view (Reflectivity, High Resolution). Additionally, you can change the radar view to other types/products. | ||
