New Developments

It's been a few weeks since our last update, and even though summer affords most people a chance to slow down and enjoy the great outdoors (there's certainly nothing good on TV), it's business at usual here at SWIFT Weather. In fact, summer is usually one of our busiest seasons (we take our breaks in the Fall).

We have been hard at work on the new version of Weather Defender. Since releasing this Spring, we have been gathering feedback from you and incorporating it into the new edition of the program.

I am very pleased with the progress so far. Some of the enhancements you can look forward to include:

• Pre-configured Maps

No more customization headaches! We've spent hundreds of hours crafting the perfect Maps for the most common uses of Weather Defender. (of course, customization will always be an option!)

• Perimeter Alert Enhancements

It will be easier than ever to create perimeters and set alerts with simple option boxes like "Heavy Rain" or "Tornado Sighted"

• Drawing Tool Enhancements

New Eraser tool, and ability to add points by latitude/longitude, or even street address

• Bug Fixes & Component Upgrades

Many stability improvements, bug fixes, and the latest and greatest components (GIS/GPS) will be rolled out with the next release

Stay tuned for more updates, and enjoy your summer!

Best Regards,
Rory Groves

Layer Updated: Storm Tracks

Storm Tracks project the path of a storm up to 1-hour.

We've revamped the Storm Tracks layer to provide you with more details, and clearer visuals:

- Cleaned up the clutter! No more overlapping tracks
- Reduced the number of timestamps to just two: 30-minute and 1-hour ETAs
- Added more storm details to tip window: rainfall estimates, hail sizes, MESO & TVS indicators, and storm height (Echo Tops)
