What is a High Wind Warning?
A high wind warning means sustained winds of 40 mph or gusts of 58 mph or higher are expected or occurring. These winds can cause tree damage, power outages, and make driving difficult especially for high profile vehicles. When a warning is issued for your area, take immediate action to protect yourself and secure loose objects.
How To Use
- • Toggle between radar and wind risk layers
- • Adjust opacity for better visibility
- • Play/pause radar animation to track storm movement
- • Click on storm markers to see movement speed
Why It Matters
Combining high wind warnings with radar helps you visualize active threats and better understand storm movement in your area.
Recent Expired Warnings
Shows high wind warnings from the past 48 hours to analyze recent patterns.
How To Use
- • Review past warning polygons to see affected areas
- • Compare with current conditions using the map style selector
- • Click on any warning to view detailed information
- • Use radar overlay to see how storms tracked
Why It Matters
Historical data helps identify patterns and verifies whether areas that received warnings were actually impacted.
High Wind Outlook Map
Displays high wind probability areas from the NOAA Storm Prediction Center.
Today & Tomorrow's Forecasts
We provide two detailed outlook maps: today's forecast showing immediate risk areas, and tomorrow's forecast to help you plan ahead. Both maps use official Storm Prediction Center data to show where damaging winds are most likely to develop.
How To Use
- • Toggle between map styles to see different perspectives
- • Zoom in and out to see detailed risk areas
- • Click on any area to see more information
- • Use the legend to understand risk levels
Why It Matters
Understanding these risk areas helps you prepare for severe weather and stay safe.
Map Controls Explained
1
Radar Controls
Our radar layer shows precipitation intensity from light rain (blue) to intense storms (red/purple).
- • Animation controls let you play through the last hour of radar to track storm development and movement direction
- • Opacity control helps blend radar with other map features for optimal visualization
2
Wind Risk Controls
The risk layer displays official Storm Prediction Center severe weather probability zones for the current day.
- • Higher percentages (darker colors) indicate greater severe weather probability including damaging winds for that area
- • Overlay both radar and risk layers to see if storms are developing in high-probability areas
Our Data Sources
High Wind Warn combines multiple official data sources to provide comprehensive high wind monitoring:
National Weather Service Warnings
Official high wind warning polygons with precise geographic boundaries and storm motion data
RainViewer Radar
High-resolution radar imagery showing precipitation intensity and storm cells
Storm Prediction Center
Daily high wind probability forecasts showing risk levels across the country
Mapbox Visualization
Professional mapping platform for interactive visualization and geographic analysis
Data is automatically refreshed every 30-60 seconds for warnings (more frequently when active warnings exist) and every 5 minutes for radar imagery to ensure you have the most current information available.
