THUNDER / THE WEATHER WORKSPACENATIVE DESKTOP
Thunder desktop showing radar, environmental shading, roads, the product legend, weather information and bottom radar controls.
Actual application capture. A recorded session, not a live weather display.
01 / RADAR FIRST

The whole picture.
Without losing focus.

Live radar, playback, Sweep and Volume Sweep share a dedicated command bar. The map stays at the center of the workspace.

02 / ADD CONTEXT

Weather is more
than one layer.

Add native analysis and satellite imagery alongside radar. Adjust opacity, inspect values, and explore alerts and SPC outlooks.

03 / INTO THE FIELD

A workspace that
moves with you.

GPS information, address search and experimental routing bring position and route context to the map. Bulletin Studio lets you create your own alert sounds.
