VortexView 3D

Ray-marched volumetric cumulonimbus with self-shadowing, rotating wall clouds, SDF tornado funnels, dBZ-driven rain/hail shafts, and jagged 3D lightning.

• Multi-scale simplex noise turbulence
• Ground shadow projection
• WebGL2 custom fragment shader

Vortex AI

A Claude-powered storm analyst with Gemini TTS. Captures your radar, interprets it, focuses the map on the cell it's discussing, and narrates in broadcast cadence.

• Voice ducking on TTS
• Low-level rotation filter ≤ 6000 ft AGL
• Threat level: Monitor → Extreme

Level-3 Suite

NIDS decoding for SCIT, MDA, TVS, NHI — with motion vectors, past tracks, MESH labels, and Baron-style popups.

• Storm motion projection
• MDA rings with shear data
• Hail triangles & POH/POSH

TPI Engine

Tornado Potential Index blending CAPE, SRH, shear from HRRR with per-storm TVS/MESO signatures into a single 0–100 score.

• Model + Radar + Enhanced modes
• Gate-to-gate shear integration
• 13 km grid overlay

NWP Models

49 HRRR products via UCAR THREDDS with a forecast-hour scrubber, plus SPC convective outlooks, watch boxes, and live Mesonet surface data.

• HRRR & RAP tile overlays
• SPC Day 1 categorical + tornado/wind/hail
• Oklahoma & Texas Mesonet stations

Broadcast-Grade Output Layer.

Bevel popup panels with collision avoidance, a draggable QPainter scan-timestamp overlay rendered at 2× resolution, and a 7-tier GIS city-label hierarchy with halos, shadows, and zoom curves — the details that make the output feel on-air, not in-browser.
