The tornado threat is increasing this evening across LA and MS, as storms develop within a tornado watch and an environment with STP >2.

If any satellite layers are behind a paywall, then that is a bug. Can you send us a screenshot of what youโ€™re seeing?

Significant severe we is expected across much of the Midwest and Southeastern U.S., with tornadoes and destructive straight line winds the largest threats. SPC mesoscale discussions are already out, and storms are rolling.

If youโ€™re using SatSquatch today, show us your presets!

**EXTREMELY CRITICAL** fire risk today across portions of Texas and Oklahoma, with a wildfire already breaking out north of Cheyenne, OK. Additional fire hotspots showing up in the Texas Panhandle. Sustained winds of 30-40 kts gusting 60+ kts ongoing.

Also, not sure what you mean by โ€œno in betweenโ€. Thereโ€™s a monthly subscription that you can use at $5/mo, cancelling any time. The $50/yr actually gives you two free months baked in ๐Ÿคทโ€โ™‚๏ธ

If that is unsatisfactory, then we are sorry that we no longer meet the value proposition for you.

Unless thereโ€™s a bug, our 2m temp, dwpt, & pres mesoanalysis layers are free.

Weโ€™ve added a ton of new features after having to completely rewrite the app, and rather than raise prices, weโ€™ve kept our same $5/mo price weโ€™ve had from 2016. Weโ€™ve added far more value to that cost, PLUS free stuff.

14.03.2025 15:45 โ€” ๐Ÿ‘ 0    ๐Ÿ” 0    ๐Ÿ’ฌ 1    ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

Well, weโ€™re not quite sure what youโ€™re referring to.

We made the app free (was a $10 purchase), made all of derived satellite layers free (true color, vis/IR composite, snow/ice RGB, fog detection RBG, and day band microphysics RGB) free.

PSA: there is a data outage from NOAA to our cloud provider (Google), with this outage affecting other users. We have been told the issue is known and being actively addressed, but we have no knowledge or control on when it will be fixed. We apologize for any inconvenience.

Looks like not quite enough destabilization behind the initial line. A couple storms tried, but couldn't quite get it done. Screenshot from @wxbyte.bsky.social's Satsquatch app.

Widespread Elevated to Critical Fire-Weather conditions are expects across portions of the Southwestern and Eastern/Southeastern US today, where low relative humidity, dry fuels, and high winds are expected to overlap.

SatSquatch is useful for more than just severe thunderstorms!

How are we liking SatSquatch 2.0 so far, folks? What are some of your favorite new features?

Personal favorite: color gradients for surface station plots! Can help diagnose surface boundaries, moisture gradients, and wind maxima!
