Two new pages under Weather, wind you can see in the 3D radar, a Weather Map that goes live as you work, and slides you can start from a blank layout.
The Earth in 3D on Map Studio’s own globe, with every quake at its depth over the sinking plates. Open a block of the crust, cut a cross-section along any line, or export a flyover. A quake’s card has its ShakeMap, Did You Feel It?, PAGER and the USGS aftershock forecast.
Every camera AtmoDeck finds by itself, on one map: state DOT and 511 cameras across the US and Canada, National Park Service webcams, USGS river cameras and Creative Commons YouTube live streams. Add one to your webcams, or put it live on the Output with its name.
The 3D radar draws the storm’s wind as streaks read from the radar’s own velocity, with no model. They climb in the updrafts and sink in the downdrafts, and turning the camera is smooth now.
In Live, what you do on the Console’s map is on air as you do it, with ON AIR and a red ring. In Explore you work in private and press Send to output. Output on / off takes the map off air.
Six empty layouts on your station’s background, or a blank canvas with words, shapes, icons, pictures and live forecast words like {temp} and {hi1}. Save your own templates and use them in a show.
The Console’s menu has three groups. Here is what is in each, and where to read about it.
Weather
Broadcast
Setup
Draw the map your viewers see, from a single radar’s raw sweep to the whole country, a satellite loop, or a hurricane’s cone. You run it from the Console; the Output mirrors it, dressed like the rest of your on-air package, with the Powered by AtmoDeck badge.
Pick any WSR-88D radar and watch its real-time feed draw wedge by wedge as the beam turns. Reflectivity, velocity, storm-relative velocity, dual-pol, rotation markers and a full 3D volume, straight from the radar’s own gates.
National MRMS reflectivity, echo tops, precipitation type, rain totals, hail size, lightning and rotation tracks, plus current-conditions, forecast grids, fronts, air quality and aviation layers. Each product keeps its own colors, floor and smoothing.
The radar volume in 3D with real clouds, precipitation type and wind streaks, models in 3D with their wind, and Storm sky, which draws the storm as it looks.
Panels that are each their own map, kept in step or apart: a radar beside a model, velocity beside reflectivity, today beside yesterday.
A base map of the land as a satellite sees it, with its own base color, houses when you zoom in, and a globe that becomes a planet when you zoom out.
A sounding or a meteogram for any spot, mesoanalysis maps from the HRRR, live cross sections, and warning boxes with the people, hospitals and schools inside.
Telestration, storm tracks with arrival times for the towns in the way, and a Forecast Builder for fronts, highs and lows that move the way the weather does.
A photo, an MP4 or a GIF of any loop, in the shape you need, with the header, the legend and the badge, ready to post.
Choose a radar and up to three days, and it plays the radar of the time with the warnings and watches as they were sent, storm reports, damage surveys, every tornado track, lightning, satellite, river gauges, the outlooks of the day and the weather balloon, in 3D too. Name the event on the header, save it in the Events menu, and put it on air.
Choose a storm and the map frames it: the cone, the forecast track with wind at each point, watches and warnings that follow the coast, wind fields and arrival times, peak storm surge, and the development areas the Hurricane Center is watching.
AtmoDeck watches National Weather Service alerts in the US and Environment Canada alerts in Canada. When one affects your counties it switches the theme, brings up the threat matrix and alert map, plays your alert sound and can post to social and Discord. Optional NWWS-OI credentials give push-speed delivery.
Put the map, slides, video and your own words in order on the Show page. Make the slides in the Slide Builder. Post the day’s story from Graphics.
Save the map as blocks (a still or an animation, from one place or on a tour), put them in order with slides, videos, intros and an intermission, and play it on auto-pilot or step by step with a key or a presenter’s clicker. Program and Preview, a Ready check, stinger transitions, a schedule of shows by the clock, and an as-run log.
Blank layouts and a free canvas: words, boxes, icons and pictures anywhere, any Google font, a color dropper, a live camera behind the slide, and ready-made pieces like the header or a seven-day row. 500 slides in folders, shared with your team.
Pictures of the day for social media in your area and your look: Day 1 to 3 chances, a storm recap, a scorecard, before and after, and videos, posted on a schedule.
Turn on a second on-air window in the other shape. It has its own widget layout, so the vertical picture is arranged for a phone, and everything else (the map, the alerts, the settings) is shared. Point a second OBS source at it and you are live in both.
Space Weather has the NOAA scales, Kp, solar wind and X-rays along the top and four views: the solar system with asteroids and comets from JPL, the Sun from SUVI, SDO and SOHO, the whole Earth from five satellites, and a map of the aurora, radio blackouts and the ionosphere. The Moon has a view of its own.
Earth & Quakes puts every earthquake at its depth, with the geologic map, volcanoes and ash, and the DART tsunami buoys. Right-click the globe to survey an area: its quakes since 1900, the nearest fault and the rock there.
Both pages are in Full AtmoDeck, and every view exports as a photo, a video or a GIF with the badge.
The block view lifts a piece of the crust out of the globe, so the slab of a sinking plate and the quakes along it are seen from the side. A cross-section along any line you draw does the same in two dimensions, and the flyover moves the camera through it for a video.
Weather, Broadcast and Setup in the side bar, a search box that finds any setting, an alert box with the newest warning, and a status light that tells you when something is wrong.
Dashboard: today’s headlines, the outlook for your area, your team and every alert in effect.
On Air: switch layouts, rehearse an alert, push a headline, force day or night.
Graphics: pictures and videos of the day’s weather in your look, ready to post or put in a show.
Layout & Widgets: edit mode, backgrounds, the widget list, where slides go, saved and starter layouts.
Status & Health: every data feed, updates, support and the watchdog, all in one place.
Places: the counties, cities and webcams that define your area.
AtmoDeck ships with a finished look, and lets you change all of it.
Conditions, forecasts, ticker, a lower third, scanner, threat matrix, radar, tropical, storm arrival times, sponsors, custom data and more. Drag, resize, group them into rotating boxes and save layouts.
Upload your own PNG and place every element on it: title, product name, time, LIVE badge, timeline. It behaves just like the built-in header, and the legend can sit inside it.
Pick any Google Font for cities, roads, water, markers and the whole broadcast. Save a map style and it becomes a color theme for every block.
Cycling titles with a label box above and a subtitle under. Breaking news covers it in one push, and every part animates the way you chose.
Upload an icon, animated ones too, for each kind of weather and every moon phase. They show on every bar, slide and map icon.
From the classic slanted look to Glass, applied as you choose. Save the whole styling as a look and switch in one click.
Tap Follow my location on your phone and the radar on your broadcast follows you: a YOU marker, a trail of where you have driven, storm motion arrows, and the tornado and severe thunderstorm warnings around you. Inside a warning, the map border turns the color of that alert. It works in the US, in Canada and across the border.
A bucket for show plans, blocks, map cues, looks and layouts, a desk chat on the Dashboard, roles, and your setup kept on your AtmoDeck account for a new computer.
Change layouts, hide alerts, flip day and night and run the show from your phone, over Wi-Fi, a hotspot or a private network.
Switch OBS scenes on an alert, answer !weather requests in chat, and post warnings to a Discord channel or any webhook.
A frozen output restarts itself, stale data refreshes, and one page shows whether every feed is answering.
The slideshow and alerts read aloud in a natural voice, and a teleprompter with your own lines in a window of its own.
Press F1 for the whole guide, starting with everyday tasks, and a search that reads every word of it.
The map and alerts use free public data: NOAA, the National Weather Service, NASA, USGS, the Iowa Environmental Mesonet, Environment Canada and more. No keys are required. See the full list.
