White screen on mobile - Update Aug 15

/

Update Aug 15:

A possible solution to a white screen on a mobile device is to clear the browsing data on chrome. Specifically the Cookies and Site Data. You may see a spinning circle or a plain white screen.



Update Aug 9: The white screen when logging in should no longer be an issue. You should get the password box in portrait now.

If you are only seeing a white screen when you click on the link for IW Pro please turn your device sideways (landscape mode) and then the password box will pop up. You can turn it back to portrait mode after entering your password.

Hail spike example

/

You need to turn off Canadian Noise Radar Reduction to see it and don't forget to reload the page when you make a change to a setting. When hail is really large you can get a spike. "A hail spike or three body scatter spike (TBSS) is an artifact on a weather radar display indicative of large hail. They are identified by a spike of weak reflectivity echoes that extend out from a thunderstorm, and away from the radar site." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hail_spike

How to read radar

/

There are some great YouTube videos that describe how radar works and how to read radar. While they use different apps the principles are the same.

We will add some of our own videos later as our app has some unique features that other apps do not have.

Live Mode vs Regular Mode vs Historical Mode

/

When you are in Live Mode IW Pro will auto load new frames when they are available. If you don’t have Live Mode on (you can turn it on in settings) then you will see the last frame that you loaded.

Note that if you are playing a series of frames it will not automatically add a new frame unless you reload.

If you wish to see past radar data you can click on the UPDATED AT Time to change the date and time.

Here is the Didsbury, AB EF4 tornado in historical mode:

IW Pro has the fastest alert polygons & radar loading in Canada.

To turn this feature on/off go to settings (the three bars in the upper left hand corner).

You can also control which alerts are displayed including IW Instant Updates.
