One timeline, two tenses: NOAA's national NEXRAD/MRMS composite (~1 km) for the last two hours in 5-minute frames, then simulated reflectivity from NOAA's HRRR model (3 km) — what radar would see — every 15 minutes for the next eight, both rendered in-app from the raw reflectivity values via the Iowa Environmental Mesonet. Past the now mark it is a model's best guess, not an observation. Zoom out for the whole state or country. The dot is Stump Pass.

Who's getting wet

Rain is famously spotty here — it can pour over Manasota and stay dry in Stump Pass. This reads live rain from nearby backyard weather stations so you can see who's actually getting wet around Stump Pass.

Florida fishing weather, tides and radar

Salty Forecast is a free hyperlocal weather app built for people who spend their time outdoors in the Florida coast — from Pensacola and the Panhandle down through Englewood, Boca Grande and Naples to Key West, then back up the Atlantic side from Miami and the Treasure Coast to Jacksonville and Amelia Island. Every town gets its own live view: hourly wind and gusts, animated radar, storm risk, NOAA tide predictions, water temperature and offshore swell, and the latest state red tide samples — one page, no ads, nothing to sign up for.

The part most weather apps skip is the part that decides whether you go: whether the water is moving, whether the wind is fighting the tide in the pass, and when the bite windows fall. That is scored here for the next seven days from tide movement, wind, seas, sky, barometric trend and the moon — and every score explains itself.
