Stormfetch
stormfetch.com
Storm data, decoded into plain English.
Severe weather is published as warnings, watches, radar and coded observations that are precise, public, and unreadable without training. Stormfetch decodes all of it into sentences a person can act on — what is coming, where, when it arrives and what it means — for any point in the country, with aviation's METAR and TAF reports handled the same way for pilots. The same decoding runs behind a JSON API for developers who would rather not write the parser themselves.
