7-Day & Hourly Forecast
The official National Weather Service point forecast for any U.S. location — active alerts, the next 12 hours, and the full week ahead, fetched live from api.weather.gov.
The official NWS forecast, point-exact
Pick any U.S. city or use your location and this page fetches the official National Weather Service forecast for those exact coordinates — the same gridded forecast NWS meteorologists issue, live from api.weather.gov with no middleman model. You get active watches and warnings covering the point, current-hour conditions, the next twelve hours in detail, and the full seven-day outlook with day and night periods, wind, and precipitation chances.
Forecast forward, history backward
A forecast tells you what is coming; StormAuditor's core tools tell you what already happened. From any forecast location you can jump to the live radar and storm replay for the same coordinates, open the Storm Map Dashboard for mapped storm days, or run a free address lookup for the hail and wind history at a specific property — every estimate under the published methodology with limitations documented.
Free for everyone
The forecast page is free with no account, like the hail size guide, wind speed guide, and live radar. Sources are documented on Data Sources.
Primary source documentation
Every dataset StormAuditor uses is public and officially documented — verify any layer at the source:
- NOAA NSSL MRMS program — the Multi-Radar Multi-Sensor system behind MESH radar-estimated hail size, with the algorithm lineage in Witt et al. (1998).
- NOAA NCEP RTMA/URMA products — the real-time and un-restricted mesoscale analyses that serve as the NWS analysis of record for surface wind.
- NOAA HRRR model — the High-Resolution Rapid Refresh fields that supplement recent dates.
- NWS ASOS program — the automated airport-grade surface observing network supplying measured gusts (with AWOS operated under FAA standards).
- SPC severe weather reports and NWS Local Storm Reports — spotter, public, and emergency-management reports of hail and wind.
- NCEI Storm Events Database — the official post-storm federal record.
- FEMA disaster declarations — federal recognition of major events.
