NEXRAD Radar

Radar data from the U.S. National Weather Service’s NEXRAD radar network depicts precipitation intensity throughout the continental U.S., plus its coastal regions and Puerto Rico. Use NEXRAD data to get a comprehensive view of surrounding conditions on the water.

Available in the Water and Water Plus data plans.

Storm Tracks

Patented and precise, exclusive storm tracks developed by Baron Services pinpoint the location of severe and tornadic storm cells. Clicking a track displays a wide array of storm conditions for more comprehensive awareness.

Available in the Water Plus data plan.

Lightning

Lightning data from the U.S. National Lightning Detection Network (NLDN), the most accurate and reliable large-scale lightning detection network in the world, allows you to monitor the location of lightning across the coastal and continental U.S. Strikes are color-coded according to the time elapsed since they occurred.

Available in the Water Plus data plan.

Buoy and Surface Observations

Click a buoy icon to view conditions reported from that site, including winds, wave heights, water temperature and more. Displayed simultaneously with buoys, airport weather observations (METARs) provide conditions reported from the ground.

Available in the Water and Water Plus data plans.

Satellite Imagery

QuikLink’s infrared satellite imagery allows you to view cloud cover at any time of day, so you’re never far away from your time in the sun.

Available in the Water Plus data plan.

Wave Data
  • Wave Height (Current and 12/24/36-Hour Forecast)
  • Wave Period (Current and 12/24/36-Hour Forecast)
  • Wave Direction (Current and 12/24/36-Hour Forecast)

Based on advanced computer modeling supported with satellite and sea-based verification, the wave dataset provides comprehensive wave information for enhanced situational awareness on the water. 36-hour forecast data, viewable in 12-hour increments, lets you know what to expect in the hours and days ahead.

Current wave information is available in the Water and Water Plus data plans. Wave forecast data for the next 12/24/36 hours is available in the Water Plus plan.

Sea Surface Data
  • Sea Surface Temperatures
  • Surface Pressure (Current and 12/24/36-Hour Forecast)
  • Surface Wind Direction and Speed (Current and 12/24/36-Hour Forecast)

Use these data products to accurately anticipate sea conditions up to 36 hours in advance, and plan your course accordingly. QuikLink sea surface data is generated using sophisticated computer models, supported with observational verification for enhanced accuracy.

Current sea surface information is available in the Water and Water Plus data plans. Sea surface forecast data for the next 12/24/36 hours is available in the Water Plus plan.

Fish Predictor

Simply click an icon to display where up to 18 species of fish, from marlin and jack to sailfish, tuna and more, are likely to be found.

Available in the Water Plus data plan.

Marine Zone Forecasts

Issued by the U.S. National Weather Service, Marine Zone Forecasts provide detailed textual information on expected conditions, and include:

  • Marine Weather Statements
  • Coastal Water Forecasts
  • Great Lakes Forecasts
  • Offshore Forecasts

Marine Weather Statements, Coastal Water Forecasts and Great Lakes Forecasts are available in the Water and Water Plus data plans. Offshore Forecasts are available in the Water Plus plan.

Visibility

This data product identifies any areas with less than 12 miles of visibility, so you can be better prepared for the waters ahead.

Available in the Water Plus data plan.

Canadian Weather Data

Weather information from Canadian data sources includes:

  • Radar
  • Surface Observations
  • Weather Warnings
  • Radar Coverage

Available in the Water Plus data plan.

Hurricane Track

Hurricane tracks for the Atlantic and Pacific basins project the strength and direction of tropical events, and provide detailed information on the storms.

Available in the Water Plus data plan.

NWS County Warnings

Color-coded severe thunderstorm, tornado, flood and flash flood warnings automatically appear in the WxWorx map as they are issued by the U.S. National Weather Service.

Available in the Water and Water Plus data plans.

Weather Maps

View the location and projected movement over the next 48-hours of pressure systems and fronts, in 12-hour increments.

Available in the Water and Water Plus data plans.

Precipitation Type (at Surface)

Color coding allows one-glance analysis of areas affected by rain, snow or mixed precipitation.

Available in the Water and Water Plus data plans.

City Forecasts

Five-day forecasts from the U.S. National Weather Service provide expected high and low temperatures, sky conditions and chances of precipitation. Simply click on the desired city to see the forecast.

Available in the Water and Water Plus data plans.

Radar Coverage

The radar coverage data product highlights all operational radar sites, so you’ll know of any gaps in coverage due a radar being temporarily offline.

Available in the Water and Water Plus data plans.
