SD Love these. Are you able to do a zoomed in past 24-36 hr qpf totals of the SE with county outlines? Sure it takes a lot of work, man these are nice though. Way better than even the ole tv guys use
This should come out in the next set along with a few others
It IS hard to find good precip and snowfall accumulation maps that show totals over the last 24, 48, and 72 hours.
Something like this what you are looking for wrt rain totals
Hey y'all. i've been building a personal iOS weather app focused on AFDs and thought some of you might find it interesting.
The whole point is the AFD. It highlights keywords so you can skim faster and spot what matters. You can customize the keyword categories and which ones trigger notifications. Severe weather, winter weather, whatever you care about. It also reformats the raw AFD text so it doesn't look like garbage on a phone.
Notifications are there but honestly iOS background refresh is sketchy. It'll work, until it doesn't. No push server behind this thing, just Apple doing whatever Apple feels like doing in the background.
Thinking about putting it on GitHub. No App Store, no backend, no promises of updates. You'd need a free Apple developer account to sideload it on your own device. Comfortable with Xcode (or asking for AI help)? Pretty straightforward.
Just figured if a few weather nerds might get use out of it, why not share it.
Anyone interested?

Gonna make a run at setting up APNs based notifications diffing the AFDs vs keywords on a more reliable (than background processing on iOS device) separate Mac. I’d publish that as well. I’d be on you to run on your Mac (or toss at AI to roll your own). We’ll see.
This is based on something I’ve had as a personal thing for a couple of years. But Xcode 26.3 and Claude agent took it to something more than just a kinda worked side project.
Also, I’m sure you could toss the source code at AI to reproduce for android.
All would prolly be under the MIT license.
