NOAA Hi-Def Radar weather app is now available for Windows 8.1. The official radar app from WeatherSphere was released on Windows Phone just last week. Today's release for Windows 8.1 brings the powerful and beautiful app to a bigger screen.
NOAA Hi-Def Radar pulls data from NOAA. As you may or may not know, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) is a scientific agency with the U.S. government. Therefore, this app is only useful for those in the US, including all 50 states and territories including Puerto Rico and Guam.

First impressions of NOAA Hi-Def Radar on Windows 8.1 are, like the Windows Phone version, positive. And if you were one of those who picked up the app on Windows Phone you'll be happy to learn that you already own it for Windows 8.1.
