BowEcho — A fast, free, native NEXRAD Level II radar viewer. Live super-resolution base data, dealiased velocity, dual-pol, derived severe-weather products, synced multi-pane, and vertical cross-sections — in a single small download. BowEcho decodes raw NEXRAD Level II data straight from the public AWS archive and live chunk feed (no account, no API key) and renders it with a fast CPU rasterizer that preserves the native super-resolution pixel pattern. It is built in Rust for speed: products switch instantly, panni...
What's new in 0.34.12
BowEcho v0.34.12 This release expands local WRF analysis, adds initial ArWen output support and official MRMS observations in WoFS, and resolves several satellite, radar, and appearance problems reported after v0.34.11. Models and WRF - BowEcho now recognizes ArWen-generated wrfout files through their producer metadata while retaining compatibility with ordinary WRF workflows. ArWen and other WRF scenes are kept in separate compatible groups. - Imported WRF runs retain presentation-safe producer, version, domain, grid dimensions, and resolution metadata. Native plots and exported batch PNGs show that context without recording the original source path. - Standalone 10-m wind plots now show the complete range down to calm winds instead of masking values below 10 kt. User color-table overrides still take precedence, and the intentional threshold on MSLP wind overlays is unchanged. - Domain extrema… in Models > Field tools graphs a stored 2-D field's whole-domain minimum or maximum without requiring a pinned map probe. It preserves exact subhourly lead times, supports long minute-cadence runs, marks the run extremum and its time, and loads a timestep when its chart point is clicked. - Native batch plots now use exact forecast-time labels and include available WRF/ArWen grid context in their subtitles. WoFS and MRMS observations - WoFS now retains the official product metadata needed to distinguish forecasts from observations. - Official MRMS composite-reflectivity observations can use their native valid-time URLs, including pre-initialization frames and midnight crossings. - Wo...
