SatSquatch

SatSquatch is your all-in-one professional weather data app: satellite data, full-resolution Level II radar, forecast models, mesoanalysis and more, layered however you like on a fast, GPU-drawn map.

SATELLITE

• All 16 GOES-East and GOES-West bands, Himawari-9 full disk, True Color and core composites

• RGB composites such as Air Mass, Day Cloud Phase and Fire Temperature (Pro)

• GLM lightning and LightningCast (Pro)

• GOES fire detections

RADAR

• Level II radar from every NEXRAD and TDWR site: reflectivity, dealiased and storm-relative velocity, spectrum width and the dual-pol moments (ZDR, CC, KDP, PHI)

• Every tilt, echo tops, VIL, MESH, azimuthal shear, rotation tracks, ZDR columns and a tornado debris overlay

• Storm-relative velocity from the radar's own storm tracks

• 15-second refresh, with live sweeps (Pro)

• Radar cross-sections (Pro)

• MRMS composite reflectivity and precipitation, plus hail, rotation, echo tops, rainfall totals and flash flood guidance (Pro)

ARCHIVE MODE (PRO)

• Replay any past date: GOES satellite back to 2017, Level II radar back to 1991, MRMS back to 2020, GLM lightning and fire detections

• That day's warnings, watches, SPC outlooks and storm reports, as they stood at the time

FORECAST MODELS

• HRRR, RRFS, GFS, RTMA and URMA

• ECMWF IFS and AIFS, RAP, AIGFS, NBM and the GEFS, REFS, AIGEFS and AIFS ENS ensembles (Pro)

• Filled contours, labelled contour lines, wind barbs and animated wind particles

• 18 built-in presets, from 500 mb heights and vorticity to reflectivity over updraft helicity tracks

• Run-to-run trends and one-tap model compare

• Point soundings with skew-T, hodograph and parameters, cross-sections and meteograms (Pro)

• Ensemble probabilities, spaghetti and plumes (Pro)

ANALYSIS AND OVERLAYS

• NWS warnings and watches, SPC, WPC and CPC outlooks, METARs, storm reports, ProbSevere, WPC fronts and Nadocast

• Mesoanalysis, observed soundings and VAD winds (Pro)

• Tropical model tracks, with ensemble tracks (Pro)

CUSTOMIZABLE MAPS

• Stack any layers in any order, with per-layer opacity and display units

• 49 colormap presets and a full colormap editor

• GRLevelX colour table import and export (Pro)

• Saved presets, saved locations, annotations and a satellite basemap (Pro)

• Split screen with synced panes, a data inspector and measuring tools

• Animated wind with a level slider from 10 m to 250 mb

• Loops of up to 72 frames; export images, GIFs and videos

• Settings and favorites synced across devices

SatSquatch Pro is an auto-renewing subscription that unlocks the features marked (Pro).
