Weather Defender is a software program that tracks weather in real-time with street-level accuracy. It works by connecting your desktop computer to a national network of radar and weather satellites and continuously scanning for weather threats.

Life-saving features include: street-level tracking, real-time weather graphics, accurate warnings, watches, and advisories, and much more.

Once Weather Defender identifies a weather threat ? such as tornadoes, lightning, severe hail, high winds or another type of deadly storm ? the program will activate ?Perimeter Alerts? which will give you, your family, or your employees time to prepare for whatever imminent weather is approaching. Personalized alerts and reports can be received via an on-screen computer monitor display, an audible alarm, e-mail message, or by SMS text to any mobile handheld device.

Additionally, you may run Weather Defender any time of day or night for immediate access to real-time weather graphics, national and regional weather monitoring, and hyper-accurate and hyper-local forecasting.

Weather Defender features a variety of different map layers, allowing users to customize their displays with several levels of details and data. There are season specific maps, which cater to specific weather conditions throughout the year, as well as lifestyle maps, which are designed to meet the weather-tracking needs of the outdoor enthusiast and hobbyist.

Users can also add custom points to their maps, denoting the locations of friends & family right on the screen. Additional tools provide you sophisticated and detailed weather tracking with the greatest of ease.
