The PSAI Weather Center, shown below, is where you'll go to search, explore, and identify storm opportunity.
From the dashboard, you can enter the Weather Map in a number of ways—from viewing the latest storm anywhere in the country to honing in on a custom market you've saved to the map. (Learn more about the many ways to find storm opportunity here.)

No matter how you enter the Weather Map, you'll be brought to a view similar to the one below.

Other Controls
On both map displays, you'll see a thin legend for hail size (purple) and wind speed (orange) to the far right of the screen. These colors correspond to the severity of hail and wind activity on the map.
To update storm swath visibility based on specific hail and wind parameters, use the Hide Layers button at the bottom.
