The Roadmap.
What has shipped and what is planned. Step through the versions with the arrows, your arrow keys or a swipe. Plans can change, and nothing in a future version is a promise.
GUI Reorganization
Rearranged the panels, with tabs you can collapse and view sizes you can adjust.
OBS Stream Elements
First, experimental stream elements for OBS: an alert ticker, a running warning counter and a threat display.
Tornado Upgrade Optimization
Fixed errors that happened when an alert was upgraded to a higher tier.
Live Outlook Dashboard
A dashboard that rates the current severe threat from factors like supercells, violent tornadoes and MCSs.
SPC Data Engine
A tool for pulling up past SPC outlooks and their layers. At first it went back to October 2019.
Active Warning Layers
The warnings map now draws every active polygon in the database.
Stream Elements Overhaul
A big rework of the experimental stream elements from v0.0.3. The ticker, counter and threat display were rebuilt for smoother updates and less lag, several drawing glitches were fixed, and two new elements arrived: a connection status widget and a compact summary of active warnings.
Dual NWWS-OI Source Mode
No NWWS-OI credentials? Use Central Feed, a shared connection that passes alerts on to every user with a delay you will not notice, about 100 ms. Have your own account? Connect directly with it for a fully private feed with no relay.
SPC/NWS Watch Information
Live watch data, including tornado probabilities and hazard details.
MCD Archives
A dedicated tab for pulling up past Mesoscale Convective Discussions by date, with the full discussion text and its associated graphic.
Online Alert Routing
Send live alerts straight out of StormSync to external services through configurable webhooks, starting with Discord, so your server or team channel gets pinged the instant a new warning comes in.
SPC Archive Expansion
Historical Storm Prediction Center outlook retrieval now reaches all the way back to roughly 2003. Carried over from the planned v0.0.41 patch and folded into this release.
Glass Theme
A translucent, layered interface theme built to match the website's design language, selectable alongside the existing themes in settings.
New Relay Server
Central Feed now runs through a new dedicated relay server built for 24/7 uptime, delivering a far more stable connection with fewer drops and reconnects.
Large Performance Upgrades
Broad performance improvements throughout the app for smoother, faster day-to-day operation.
Reduced Storage Requirements
Cut down the app's on-disk footprint significantly.
New Map Tile Provider
Switched to a new map tile provider after the previous free provider changed its usage policy. No other changes in this release.
Stream Elements Overhaul
Stream elements have been rebuilt from the ground up for cleaner, more reliable broadcast overlays.
Cloud Services Rework
Cloud services that use custom settings have been completely reworked.
Custom Audio Volume Management
Set and manage audio volume to your liking with new custom controls.
Remade Notification System
Notifications have been rebuilt for more dependable, clearer alerting.
New Sounds
A fresh set of alert sounds.
Active Alerts While Away
Alerts that are still active now appear even if the app was closed when they were issued, so you never miss what happened while you were away.
Alert Popup Map
The alert popup map now works across tabs and can be dragged and expanded.
New Watch Tab
Watches now have their own tab and alert cards, separating them from warnings.
Generic Installer with In-App Updates
A new generic installer means future updates no longer need a fresh download. When a new version is out, a banner appears automatically in the app and you update right from there.
Faster Alert Loading
Improved performance when loading alerts.
Alert Accuracy
Fixed Flash Flood Considerable and Emergency alerts and confirmed tornado warnings not showing, plus alert downgrades and cancellations.
Alert Cards and Sounds
Fixed issues with alert cards and alert sounds.
Parsing and Bug Fixes
Improved alert parsing and various other important bug fixes.
Radar Spotlight
The Warnings tab is now a live radar map with every active warning on top, auto-jump, radar modes, and a pop-out or dockable window.
Watches, MCDs and SPC Outlooks
A new polygon style with an optional radar layer, plus fixed zoom lag.
Alert Map Radar
The alert card map can switch between Composite, Reflectivity and Velocity radar.
Storm Arrival Times
Towns in a warning's path and expected arrival times, shown across alert cards, notifications and stream popups.
Streamer Remote
A control panel to manage popups, auto-jump, takeover, banners and sponsors without touching OBS.
Full Stream Overlay
A complete broadcast layout in a single OBS source, with slots for radar, facecam and extra cameras.
New Stream Overlays
Emergency Takeover, SPC Risk, Sponsors, Socials and Radar Spotlight overlays.
Redesigned Overlays and Notifications
Every overlay and in-app notification rebuilt with the new look.
Test Alerts
Test alerts are never saved, with a new option to send them to the alert map.
Fixes
Fixed overlays losing warnings after restart, Jump to Card, radar mode switching, radar and glow visuals, the sponsor card, and spotlighting real alerts from the Remote.
Tornado Damage Survey Tracks
Plot official NWS damage survey tracks directly on the map, with EF rating, path length, and width data displayed as surveys are published.
Mobile Notifications
Through an app connected to your PC, StormSync will send alerts directly to your phone whenever there is active weather, if you have the feature enabled.
Remove the Download Form
Drop the short access form so StormSync is a straight download. It was planned earlier and pushed back, and it is still on the list.
Simplified Mapping
A small, standalone radar app that opens fast and shows every active warning.
NWWS-OI Broadcast Engine
A central server would hold the NWWS-OI connection, parse the alerts and warning polygons, and send them to every Lite user, so source credentials stay private.
Full breakdown
What is planned for Lite, and how it would compare to the full app, is on the Lite page.
Cross-Platform Support
Native support for Mac and Linux, opening StormSync up beyond Windows-only use.
Spotter Mode
A dedicated high-contrast view built for field use. Fast updates, minimal clutter, focused on the highest-priority alerts.
