## Storm Hunter Wx Description
John McLaughlin's Storm Hunter Weather

Developed in partnership with former KCCI-TV (Des Moines, IA) meteorologist
John McLaughlin to provide a simplified display of advanced radar data and Safety Net alerting to multiple locations with user-definable thresholds. McLaughlin pioneered the use of Doppler radar for severe storm tracking on Iowa television, working with Bob Baron of Baron Weather to develop and install the nation's first High Definition Doppler radar (VHDD) in 1995.Storm Hunter allows you the option to select notification as storms begin to produce lighting, hail, or rotation so you can be alerted even before official warnings are issued.  Up to eight locations can be specified so you can make sure your loved ones know when dangerous weather approaches.

Storm Hunter includes five high resolution NWS radars covering Iowa. Select from radar intensity and velocity, plus one click threat delineation with the "Baron Button" breaking down storm cells into rain, hail and wind threats. 
Storm Hunter's Future Scan product extrapolates storm cells from their current radar locations out to one hour including predicted decay or growth.

Detailed national radar will cover you across the United States, plus our "U.S. Severe Wind" product shows the areas of greatest wind shear as detected across the network of National Weather Service Doppler Radars. This tool is useful for quickly identifying rotation and damaging wind areas.

In addition to custom alerts, you can save multiple location for specific computer generated weather forecasts from the national weather prediction models.
Forecast radar and rain/snow accumulations out to 24 hours and radar estimated rain totals are great features in the Storm Hunter app.

The Storm Hunter app is linked to the Iowa Storm Chasing Network for live streaming of severe weather events from the Storm Hunter Ford Escape chase vehicle and live radar analysis for significant tornado days.

Storm Hunter Weather is sponsored by the McLaughlin Family companies in Iowa, Including New Way Ford, New Way Auto Group, McLaughlin Imprint and Apparel and Hurricane Motorsports. Advertisement links include exclusive discounts on new and used automobiles and apparel for Storm Hunter users.

Meteorologist John McLaughlin says "The Storm Hunter app is a way for me to continue to share my passion for weather, even after my 31 year career on Iowa television ended due to a medical condition. Best of all, thanks to my family members financial support, the app is free to download and use. For that I am very grateful."

## Storm Hunter Wx Reviews in United States

### *---- "What happen?"
This used to be a great app. Ran smooth, solid radar, no glitches. But NOW this app seems really broke. It’s crashes all the time or doesn’t load, radar map is super glitchy and lags horrible. It’s just not a very user friendly app anymore. It had great potential but someone needs to get their act together and fix it or it’s a goner
-- jbhodj, 2024-06-23

### *---- "App won’t load"
App refuses to load since last apple update.  Please fix ASAP!
-- Rallie4076, 2023-10-25

### **--- "Won’t open"
Why does it take 3 or 4 times before I can open the app?  I go the other apps first before I open this one
-- Gri311, 2023-10-14

### **--- "Remove a location?"
I just noticed Yankee Stadium is added to my location list.  I did not add it.
Why is it easy to add a new location but there is no obvious way to remove one?  I sent a message asking how to remove a location and hoping to get a response.
-- see ya scanner app, 2023-07-18

### ***** "great weather app!!"
i've tried many different weather apps over many years and by far this is the best i've used to date! it's very straightforward without all the nonsensical gibberish and flash most of the other weather apps seem to think is needed! please don't change from your basic layout or functionality as in my humble opinion you've already achieved perfection, thanks!!
-- RcknAllNiteLng, 2023-05-24

### *---- "You’re update is awful"
With the new update it looks like a grade schooler did the drawing of the map.  I have to reset everything. It’s hard to follow now.
-- frustrated With gardenscapes, 2023-05-13

### *---- "Lag"
So much lag it is almost unusable.
-- LZXTY, 2022-11-16

### *---- "Used to me my favorite"
My favorite app until the most recent update. Don’t like it anymore
-- farm weatherman, 2022-10-13

### ***** "Excellent Update!"
Best Weather App!
-- Onenail the cook, 2022-09-28

### ***-- "Dark mode gone?"
Bring back dark mode!!
