RadarScope 4 Overview

What is RadarScope 4? RadarScope is a weather app designed for weather enthusiasts and meteorologists. It allows users to view NEXRAD Level 3 and super-resolution radar data, tornado, severe thunderstorm, flash flood, special marine and snow squall warnings, and predicted storm tracks issued by the U.S. National Weather Service. The app can display the latest reflectivity, velocity, dual-polarization, and other products from any NEXRAD or TDWR radar site in the United States, Guam, Puerto Rico, Korea, and Okinawa, as well as data from other international weather services. The app offers various features such as zooming in and out on the map, selecting different radars, exporting maps, and displaying updated data automatically. The app also offers an optional auto-renewing subscription with two different tiers that provide access to real-time lightning data, extended loops of super-resolution data, SPC outlooks, mesoscale discussions, local storm reports, hail size and probability contours, and azimuthal shear contours in the U.S.

RadarScope 4 Features and Description

1. RadarScope is a specialized display utility for weather enthusiasts and meteorologists that allows you view NEXRAD Level 3 and super-resolution radar data along with tornado, severe thunderstorm, flash flood, special marine and snow squall warnings, and predicted storm tracks issued by the U.S. National Weather Service.

2. It can display the latest reflectivity, velocity, dual-polarization, and other products from any NEXRAD or TDWR radar site in the United States, Guam, Puerto Rico, Korea, and Okinawa, as well as data from Environment Canada, Australian Bureau of Meteorology, Finnish Meteorological Institute, and German Weather Service radars.

3. Whether you are scanning reflectivity for a mesocyclone's tell-tale hook echo, trying to pinpoint the landfall of a hurricane's eye wall, or looking for small features like velocity couplets in the storm relative radial velocity product, RadarScope gives you the power to view true radial weather radar data.

4. RadarScope Pro Tier Two is an annual or monthly subscription that combines all the features in Tier One with more advanced features, including SPC outlooks, mesoscale discussions, local storm reports, hail size and probability contours, and azimuthal shear contours in the U.S., a 30-day archive of all radar products, and the ability to use subscription features across multiple platforms.

5. RadarScope Pro Tier One is an annual subscription that provides access to real-time lightning data in the U.S. and Canada that animates along with the radar loop and up to 30 frames of radar data, including extended loops of super-resolution data.

6. RadarScope displays tornado, severe thunderstorm, flash flood, special marine, and snow squall warnings issued by the U.S. National Weather Service.

7. Meanwhile, RadarScope will retrieve and display updated data automatically and intelligently (approximately every 2 to 10 minutes, depending on the radar scan strategy).

8. You can display radar data from our servers, NOAA's public access web site, or your Allison House subscriber account.

9. These aren't smoothed PNG or GIF images, this is native radar data rendered in its original radial format for a high level of detail.

10. Tier One subscribers can also access optional dual-pane and quad-pane modes for viewing multiple radar products side-by-side.

11. Select one of the 307 different radars in the United States, Canada, Australia, Germany, Korea, Puerto Rico, Guam, or Okinawa.

Software Reviews and Criticism


  • By G4gene

    Well done as far as it goes...

    PROs: Superb for looking at any one radar site and all the different kinds of data that site outputs in full resolutionl. If you're interest in radar goes no further than one radar site, this is the app for you. CONs: No composite view of all sites. Come on RadarScope, this is entry level stuff that is freely available elsewhere. If you're interested in exploring radar here and there, it will be tiresome. Next, loops are only 5 images, about 5 minutes worth. That's a big limitation for me and for anyone who is interested in the big picture. Finally, the base map is just just county lines. If its not your local area, you may find it hard to tell where things are at. Overall, what you get is done superb. It's what you don't get, that's disappointing for a paid app in this price range. Of course they offer more features, that will fix what they have crippled in this software, for a monthly or yearly fee. For me it feels like I'm being squeezed for more dough a little too much.

    Its ok but could be much better

    I like how on the computer you can use a quad panel. I don't like how the warnings don't pop up sometimes. In order for me to see the warnings sometimes I have to switch to AllisionHouse. I feel like for Pro 1 tier people should have access to the SPC outlooks, hail contors, etc. Also I feel like you can add in more stuff that would make this app better. I think you should add the rotation detecor, add in the tornado impact number (ex: 0-10) with 0 being almost no tornado on the ground and 10 with this is a tornado on the ground. And also I feel like you can add in a place for you to add in a custom storm track so we know what time the storm will hit. Please seriously consider this review.

    The only weather app I go for

    I have this on all my Microsoft products. I had the iOS version since 2012 and went back and forth on whether I neeeded this on my Windows too. I live in Central Texas (Austin area) and August finally gave me that answer. I puchased the PC version when Hurricane Harvey was still churning in the Gulf and no one was sure what part of south Texas it would hit. With friends and family back in Houston, I was able to check in on the rain and help a few of them out. When it comes to radar, I don’t even look at other apps, just Radarscope.

    Awesome again!

    Thanks for fixing locations and mouse scrolling. This really is the best radar program on the market. I'd really like it if you guys would consider adding the ability to import custom shape files (.shp) as well as .kml files. It would make it easy to import locations during incident response (I need to see territories, my responder staging areas, shelter locations, etc). I don't want these as custom locations because I need to change these during each storm, plus locations are only dots, and I need boundary shapes. Keep up the great work!!
