  • Temperature, feels-like, dew point, and humidity
  • Wind speed, gusts, and pressure
  • Precipitation, snow depth, and cloud cover
  • UV index, visibility, and air quality (AQI)
  • CAPE, wave height, soil temperature, dust, and smoke
  • Up to 14-day predictive forecasting

Hurricane tracking & severe-weather alerts.

Real-time National Hurricane Center data shows active cyclones with forecast paths and intensity changes. NWS severe-weather alerts are color-coded by severity and surface on both the map and your forecast panels. Push notifications are configurable per category so you only hear about what matters.

  • NHC hurricane path and intensity tracking, live
  • NWS alerts (Extreme, Severe, Moderate, Minor) badges
  • Push notifications for severe weather and hurricane warnings
  • Configurable alert preferences per category
  • Map-pinned warnings with one-tap detail
  • Forecast-panel surfacing so nothing gets missed

  • Color-coded airspace classes (B, C, D, E, Restricted)
  • Temporary Flight Restrictions (TFRs) in real time
  • AIRMETs, SIGMETs, and convective advisories

Frequently asked questions

Is Vortix free?
The free tier is ad-supported and includes core radar, forecasts, and alerts with no time limit. Vortix Pro is a subscription that removes ads and unlocks the full set of 17 forecast overlays, aviation airspace layers, and hurricane tracking — with a free trial available in-app.
What’s the difference between Vortix and WeatherScope?
WeatherScope is built for everyday users — clean radar, smart alerts, and an Apple Watch experience. Vortix is the pro-grade companion built for storm chasers, weather enthusiasts, and pilots who want 17 forecast overlays, hurricane tracking, and full airspace data on the same map.
What are the 17 forecast overlays?
Temperature, feels-like, dew point, humidity, wind speed, wind gusts, pressure, precipitation, snow depth, cloud cover, UV index, visibility, air quality (AQI), CAPE, wave height, soil temperature, and dust/smoke — sourced from GFS model data and rendered as map overlays out to 14 days.
Does Vortix have aviation features?
Yes. Vortix includes color-coded airspace classes (B, C, D, E, Restricted), TFRs, AIRMETs and SIGMETs, winds aloft at flight levels, an obstacle database, live ADS-B internet traffic, and airport info with runways, frequencies, NOTAMs, and FBOs.
How does hurricane tracking work?
Vortix pulls real-time data from the National Hurricane Center showing active cyclones, their forecast paths, and intensity changes. Severe weather alerts from the NWS appear in your forecast panels and on the map, color-coded by severity.
What languages does Vortix support?
Vortix is available in 18 languages with full unit customization (imperial and metric for temperature, distance, speed, pressure, and precipitation).

The consumer counterpart — patent-pending smooth radar, intelligent alerts, and the only native live-radar Apple Watch experience. Also free.
