Download the internationally award-winning Instant Weather Maps Free weather model app today! Using Instant Weather Maps Free, you can view the same weather data that meteorologists use in making their forecasts. Instant Weather Maps Free offers all of the North American 00Z GFS images available on the NCEP Model Analysis and Guidance site, in addition to all of the Base Reflectivity images available on the NWS Radar website.

Select your desired map using the intuitive user interface. Then simply rotate the screen and your map will appear. Pinch to zoom, and swipe to scroll across the zoomed image. Swipe left or right with three or more fingers to move the forecast hour backward or forward.

Or, if you prefer, choose a variable to view either all forecast hours of that variable or a subset based on a user-definable interval. Use the easy-to-understand controls to manually step through the time sequence, or view an animated loop which can be sped up and slowed down. Pinch to zoom in and out, and swipe to scroll across the zoomed animation.

Upgrade to Instant Weather Maps Pro to remove all ads, in addition to being able to view weather model data from the GFS, NAM, RUC, GEFS, SREF, WW3, HRW, POLAR, NAEFS, and RTMA weather models, and maps from many regions, including but not limited to North America, South America, Africa, Pacific Ocean, Atlantic Ocean, Europe, and Asia. Also in the Pro version, view radar mosaics from 12 regions of the United States and radar images and loops of 8 different variables from over 150 US cities. Instant Weather Maps Pro offers over 99% of the images available on the NCEP Model Analysis and Guidance website, as well as over 99% of the images and animations available on the NWS Radar website; and view an unparalleled selection of variables from the GFS, NAM, RAP, and 21 GEFS members (including Kuchera-method snowfall); as well as selected ECMWF variables, with the fastest loading speed available on any model app.

NOTE: In-app purchase to remove ads does NOT add any other functionality to the app. To get additional features, you must instead purchase Instant Weather Maps Pro.

Useless
Only US map. Useless for anyone outside N. America.
No maps?
This app showed beautiful synoptic maps of North America until end of December, but now the maps fail to show; I just see a white screen.
No maps
I could not get any maps to appear either. The developers should maintain their app or delete it from iTunes.
cant get maps to load
cant get maps to load and crashes when I try to go "back".
Meh
Another app in the Canadian store not supporting the Canadian market. The quality of the maps is medium.
