👋 Hi there!
Thanks for checking out my radar. Spark Radar was a project I started in 2024 because I love tracking the weather and programming. I made the entire thing open source because finding the radar data was really hard to do. You can check out the source code in this repo.
How does it work?
The principle of Spark Radar is actually very simple. I found a tile server used by the NWS's radar. After passing it a bounding box and station, it returns an image which simply gets placed on the map!
Credits
The following are the services and sources which the radar gets data from:
Radar Images: NOAA's OPENGEO Server
Radar Info and Stations: NWS API
Alerts: NWS API
Watches: The IEM WW Archive
SPC Outlooks: NWS SPC GeoJSON
Search Results: Geocode
Weather Radios: GWES WeatherRadio
