About Mile High Weather
Free and ad-free. Built by weather nerds for weather nerds. Mile High Weather brings you hyperlocal weather from the Colorado Front Range. REAL-TIME DATA Live temperature, wind, humidity, solar, UV, and precipitation updates every few seconds. Air quality readings from dedicated PM2.5/PM10 sensor. VIBE INDEX Mile High Weather's unique Vibe Index combines temperature, humidity, wind, sunshine, and air quality for a much more comprehensive weather 'score' than standard Wind Chill, Heat Index, or Feels Like metrics. Know at a glance how things actually feel with a simple 0-100 scale. See the primary score drivers to understand exactly what's making the day feel better or worse. DETAILED FORECAST 14-day forecast with 7-day hourly detail. High/low temps, feels-like, precipitation, wind, UV, and humidity. 60-minute nowcast for incoming rain and snow with minute-by-minute ETA and intensity. Quick-look stats include storm risk from SPC convective outlooks and fire risk indicators. RADAR GPU-rendered NEXRAD radar across four Colorado sites with smooth continuous color gradients and sharp detail at every zoom level. Scrub through the last few hours with play/pause controls, or explore daily radar archives to see how past storms moved through. SEVERE WEATHER & STORM TRACKING NWS weather alerts with standard color coding, priority tiering, and expandable descriptions. Real-time lightning strike detection with distance, bearing, strike count, and cloud-to-ground vs intra-cloud breakdown. Storm cell tracking with severity level, distance, ETA, and hail size estimates. Condition alerts for rapid temperature swings and sudden wind increases. Push notifications for warnings and watches with smart delivery that pushes high-priority alerts immediately while advisory-level alerts respect quiet hours. WEBCAM Live webcam updated every few minutes. Scroll back through 3, 12, or 24-hour timelapses, watch 7-day, 30-day, and 1-year rolling videos, or pick any date from the archive. CLIMATE & HISTORY See how today stacks up against Denver climate normals and records. Browse historical conditions across any time range from the last 24 hours through a full year. SUN & MOON Sunrise, sunset, moonrise, and moonset times. Real-time sun and moon position tracking with illumination, elevation, azimuth, and phase. WIDGETS Home screen widgets for forecasts, temperature, Vibe Index, UV, air quality and more. SMART NOTIFICATIONS Optional daily summary with the day's forecast and Vibe Index projection. Alerts for lightning, hail, incoming precipitation, significant temperature swings, approaching high winds, and exceptional outdoor conditions. CUSTOMIZABLE DASHBOARD Show, hide, and reorder cards to build the view that works for you. Critical cards like active alerts and lightning always appear when conditions warrant.
What’s new
