01
Your workspace, your way.
Move from a focused single view to a 3×3 analysis grid. Link location, time, product, palette, or zoom independently—only where it helps.
Open-source weather intelligence
Weather,
in focus.
A modern radar workstation built for people who need the full picture—without a subscription, a locked ecosystem, or a dated interface.

One workspace, many perspectives
Radar without the
tunnel vision.
Built from the ground up around the way weather actually gets analyzed: in context.
02
Real radar. Real rendering.
NEXRAD Level 2 and Level 3 products rendered on the GPU over an interactive vector map.
03
Time is a first-class tool.
Move between live and archived data with a purpose-built timeline, playback controls, and local caching.
04
Measure what matters.
Inspect range, bearing, and beam geometry. Pin useful analysis to the map or save places for later.
05
Weather in context.
Bring warnings, watches, radar sites, and placefile overlays into the same geographic workspace.
Designed beyond radar
A weather workstation,
not a one-trick app.
Radar is the first complete data domain—not a constraint baked into the interface. WxLens has a common visualization pipeline so future data sources can arrive without another rewrite.

Built in the open
The forecast is
ambitious.
Single-site radar
Modern workflows, analysis tools, performance validation, and release readiness.
In progressMulti-radar mosaics
Regional perspective with multiple sources composed into a continuous picture.
More weather layers
Satellite, soundings, forecast models, and richer atmospheric context.
3D storm structure
Volumetric exploration when the underlying platform and data are ready.
No paywalls. No black boxes.
Free as in weather data
should be.
