About
Austin's Radar is built by Austin Munday. The radar pipeline pulls NOAA MRMS reflectivity composites every two minutes, color-grades them with a custom dark palette, and serves the result as XYZ tiles from a Cloudflare Worker. Outside the contiguous US, tiles are sourced from Rainbow.ai and re-colored to match the same palette, so the seam at the border is invisible.
The app is iPhone-only on iOS 17 or newer.
