REAL-TIME WEATHER
RexWeather provides accurate, up-to-the-minute weather conditions including temperature, humidity, wind speed, and atmospheric conditions.

COMPREHENSIVE TORNADO HISTORY
Access the complete NOAA Storm Prediction Center tornado database spanning from 1950 to present. Every recorded tornado event includes precise coordinates, Enhanced Fujita Scale ratings, path information, casualty data, and meteorological details.

Interactive maps display tornado paths with color-coded intensity levels, making it easy to understand the scope and severity of historical events. Tap any tornado to view detailed information including affected cities, path length, maximum width, and impact statistics.

SMART RADIUS TECHNOLOGY
Intelligent auto-radius calculation for tornado outbreaks ensures optimal viewing of all relevant tornadoes. Manual search from 5-50 miles with visual map circles. Privacy-focused location access only when app is active.

BEAUTIFUL, NATIVE DESIGN
RexWeather uses a clean, modern iOS design for optimal performance and seamless integration. Weather-adaptive backgrounds and carefully crafted interfaces create an immersive experience that connects you with atmospheric conditions.

The app is fully optimized for both iPhone and iPad with responsive layouts that take advantage of each device’s capabilities. The design language ensures RexWeather feels at home on your device while delivering exceptional performance.

ADVANCED MAPPING
Detailed tornado path visualization shows the complete journey of each tornado event. Start and end coordinates are clearly marked, with the full path colored according to Enhanced Fujita Scale intensity. Cross-state tornado events are properly tracked regardless of administrative boundaries.

Dynamic city detection identifies communities along tornado paths, providing geographic context without requiring a static database. This ensures city information is always current and accurate.

ACCESSIBILITY & PERFORMANCE
RexWeather is built with accessibility in mind, featuring full VoiceOver support, Dynamic Type compatibility, and high-contrast mode optimization. All interactive elements meet or exceed iOS accessibility guidelines.

Performance optimization ensures smooth 60fps animations with minimal battery impact. Hardware-accelerated rendering and intelligent caching provide a responsive experience even when working with large datasets.

DATA MANAGEMENT
Intelligent caching keeps tornado data current while minimizing network usage. The app automatically refreshes data from NOAA SPC every 30 days, with manual refresh options available in Settings. Clear cache functionality allows you to start fresh when needed.

Configure custom data source URLs for specialized use cases, or reset to the default NOAA Storm Prediction Center feed.

PRIVACY FOCUSED
RexWeather respects your privacy by only requesting location access when needed for weather and tornado history features. No user data is collected, tracked, or shared. All settings remain local to your device for complete privacy control.
