Features
From radar to the alert in hand
Shear handles the whole weather picture — monitoring, matching, and delivery end to end — so your team focuses on the response, not the plumbing.
Situational awareness
Every weather threat on one map
Radar, satellite wildfire detection, and live National Weather Service warnings share a single interactive console — so your team sees the full picture at a glance, without switching apps.
- WSR-88D and TDWR radar plus the national mosaic — the sites you choose, with a reflectivity (dBZ) read-out under your cursor
- GOES satellite wildfire detection (NGFS) with fire radiative power and detection time
- Warning polygons in the official NWS color scheme, with storm-motion vectors and live per-town arrival countdowns
- SPC convective outlooks and live Local Storm Reports layered on the same map
- A live, filterable alert stream — search and scope to the states you cover
Ingest
Never miss a warning
Two independent National Weather Service feeds run side by side and cross-check each other, so a warning never slips through if one source lags. Storm-based polygons and zone-based products are both captured and drawn accurately.
- Redundant, cross-checked feeds
- Polygon warnings plus zone advisories and watches — drawn from official NWS forecast-zone geometry
- Outlooks & discussions: Hazardous Weather Outlooks, Area Forecast Discussions, and Storm Prediction Center mesoscale discussions and convective outlooks
- Live ingest-health monitoring with watchdog alerts
Targeting
Alert only the right people
Build alerting profiles from the dimensions that matter: product type, county, issuing forecast office, or a specific location on your own watch list (a warning that covers that point triggers the profile). Then attach the contact groups and channels each profile should reach. Recipients get exactly the alerts relevant to them and nothing else.
- Match by product, county, forecast office, or a watch-list location
- Contact groups for who hears what
- Per-profile channel routing
- Filter-only profiles for pure situational awareness
Delivery
Reach every channel at once
One matched alert fans out to every selected channel simultaneously — no copy-pasting between systems. Every visual channel carries a generated map of the warning area, complete with the storm-motion arrow.
- Email with the warning-area map embedded inline
- SMS / text
- Microsoft Teams Adaptive Cards
- Signed webhooks (HMAC)
- Facebook — updates edit the original post in place, so your page stays current without spamming followers
- Wire-service silent printing for dispatch / EOC printers
Security & administration
Built for serious operations
Per-organization tenancy keeps every team isolated. Administration comes with the controls public-safety and procurement expect.
- Microsoft SSO (per organization)
- Enforced two-factor for administrators, with step-up re-authentication for sensitive actions
- Roles and scoped access — no silent session expiry; access ends on logout, deactivation, or password change
- Tamper-evident audit trail of every change
