All Radar & Map Layers Now FREE

We just unlocked the full power of Tornado Path for everyone — no Pro subscription needed to access the map:

HD Radar — high-resolution radar, completely free
Base Reflectivity & Velocity — see storm intensity and rotation
Forecast Radar — know where storms are heading
Echo Tops, Satellite, Precipitation — full weather picture
Storm Cells — track individual storms in real time
All map layers. All users. No paywall.

Pro is now focused on what matters most — we CALL you. Phone calls, texts, and emails that wake you up at 3am when a tornado warning hits your location.

Also in this update:

Improved alert preview images across the app

-Layer Info Tooltips — Added info icons on every map layer in the layer picker. Tap to see a plain-English explanation of what each radar product does and tips on when to use it.
-Improved One-Time Offer Readability — Made the eligibility and expiration text on the discount offer screen easier to read.
-Onboarding Cleanup — Streamlined the location setup screen by removing redundant instructions.
-Fixed Learn Section — Corrected the radar types article to reflect all 9 available layers.

New Map Layers

-Base Reflectivity — Raw NEXRAD radar returns, unfiltered and unsmoothed. See exactly what the radars see.
-Velocity — Doppler velocity data from individual NEXRAD sites. Auto-selects the nearest radar, or pick any site manually. Essential for spotting rotation.

Map Layers Redesign

-New bottom sheet UI for map layer controls — cleaner, more intuitive, no more confusing button grids.
-Data layers now use radio selection (one at a time) with overlays that can stack on top.
-Native iOS sliders for opacity controls.

Learn & Settings Updates

-Improvements to Learn section content and Settings page.

Bug fixes and performance improvements

Bug fixes and performance improvements.

-Improved Warning Expiration Handling
-Tornado warnings that the NWS allows to expire (EXP) are now properly handled — previously these could get stuck showing as active with broken countdown text
-EXP'd warnings now show a gray card with an "EXPIRED" badge and a "Removed in" countdown until they clear, just like canceled warnings
-Active warnings always sort above canceled/expired warnings so the most critical alerts stay at the top

Warning History Improvements

-EXP updates now appear in the warning history timeline with an "Expiration" section header, similar to how cancellations are displayed
-Applies to both tornado warnings and severe weather alerts in the expired view

Bug Fixes

-Fixed "Expires in Expired" text that could appear on warning cards when countdown reached zero
-Fixed countdown chip to cleanly transition to "Removed" or "Expired" instead of showing broken text

-Updated payment options

Bug Fixes & Performance

-Eliminated direct database queries from the app for severe weather zone data — all weather data now flows through Cloudflare-cached APIs, significantly reducing server load as user count grows
-Removed redundant nws_zone_cache queries from both active and expired severe weather hooks (zone geometry is now embedded by the API)
-Fixed dead import (getActiveCanadianWarnings) in tornado warnings hook
-Added normalization for expired Tornado Watch zone geometry (_zoneGeometries → zoneGeometryCollection) ensuring consistent rendering between active and expired maps
-Added fallback enrichment for expired Tornado Watch alerts that handles multiple API response formats (direct zoneGeometryCollection, _zoneGeometries, and MultiPolygon decomposition)

Performance & reliability improvements for high-traffic periods:

-Significantly reduced server load — the app now uses cached data endpoints so performance stays fast even when thousands of users are active simultaneously
-Tornado outlook maps load faster and more reliably
-Today's tornado summary loads faster
-Active and expired warning data is more efficiently delivered
-General stability improvements

-Distinct visual patterns for CIG (Conditional Intensity Groups) on outlook maps — CIG1 uses dashed lines, CIG2 uses solid lines, and CIG3 uses dotted lines, making it easier to distinguish intensity levels at a glance
-Updated legend icons to match new CIG map patterns
-Improved subscription screen trial eligibility detection

-Alert History Fix — Resolved an error that prevented alert history from loading on the Pro dashboard
-Notification Status Badges — Email, SMS, and Call badges now accurately reflect delivery status with color-coded indicators (green = sent, yellow = pending, red = failed)

-Alert Details — Expanded alert details now show the warning ID and day of the week alongside the date
-Population Estimates — Active warning cards now show "Calculating..." instead of "N/A" while population data loads

-Fixed map watermark issue — Resolved "zoom level not supported" overlay that could appear on radar maps at higher zoom levels
-Improved fullscreen map experience — You can now select and deselect warnings in fullscreen map mode. Selected warnings are visually highlighted with a brighter, thicker polygon while other warnings are dimmed for clarity
