  • Note: the center of your screen will be used as the waypoint.
• Select the Weather Icon, then click the "Storm Finder" icon (magnifying glass with a lightning bolt symbol).

• After selecting the Storm Finder, a radius will appear in the background on the screen. This is the radius the storm finder will be searching for storm data inside of.
• A default list of storms will also be listed.
• To manipulate the list of storms, select the gray "Filters" dropdown to adjust the storm events that you are wanting to view within the defined radius.

• • Adjust the following filter to manipulate which storms you'd like to have listed. Available filters include the following:
    • Time Range:
      • Set a date range to search for storms by. Storm overlays are available back to February 2019. This option will always default to the last 6 months.
    • Radius: 1 - 100 Miles
      • Set the radius size to look for storm.
    • Hail Size: 0.75'' - 6''.
    • Hail Probability: 5 - 100%.
    • Wind Gust: 35 MPH - 200 MPH.
  • To apply your filters, simply close the "Filters" dropdown and your lists of storms will update on the next screen.
