Live GOES Satellite
Switch between map view, true-color GOES GeoColor, and infrared imagery to see a storm's structure and intensity for yourself — not just a dot on a map.
WHAT YOU'LL RECEIVE
Track it like the pros do.
Real NHC data and live satellite imagery — not just a dot moving across a map.
Real NHC Forecast Track
The official National Hurricane Center forecast cone and track points, with projected wind speed at each point along the path.
Formation Alerts
Get notified the moment any system in the Atlantic or Eastern Pacific is named — nationwide, no distance limit.
Intensity Upgrade Alerts
Pushed every time a storm is upgraded — Tropical Storm to Category 1, Category 1 to Category 2, and so on.
500-Mile Proximity Alerts
If a storm comes within 500 miles of your location, you'll get a heads-up push so you can start preparing.
Official Advisory Text
Read the NHC's full public advisory for each storm directly in the app — the same text broadcast meteorologists read from.
How the Hurricane Tracker Works
1
Storms Appear Automatically
Whenever the NHC names a new system, it shows up in StormCast's storm selector — no setup or searching required.
2
Explore the Map & Satellite
Tap a storm to see its current position, forecast track, and live GOES satellite imagery in Map, Color, or Infrared view.
3
Get Alerted as It Develops
StormCast checks the NHC every 30 minutes during hurricane season and pushes a notification on formation, intensity changes, and proximity to your location.
Frequently Asked Questions
Where does the data come from?
The National Hurricane Center (NHC) — current positions, official forecast tracks, wind speeds, and public advisory text for every active storm in the Atlantic and Eastern Pacific.
Does it show satellite imagery?
Yes — live GOES satellite in GeoColor (true color) and Infrared, alongside the map view.
When do I get notified?
Three triggers: a new named storm forms, a storm's intensity is upgraded, or a storm comes within 500 miles of your location. Formation and intensity alerts are nationwide with no distance limit.
Is this only useful near the coast?
No. Formation and intensity alerts go to everyone so you can follow a storm threatening family or property elsewhere, even if you're inland.
How often is it updated?
Every 30 minutes during active tropical weather (June–November), matching the NHC's own advisory cycle.
