The TorCAST White Paper is now live on our website, detailing the methodology and theoretical basis of the system. torcast.pro For a more in-depth white paper, contact support@torcast.pro.

@TorCASTWX @ionleu wow interesting, it can do 3D?? if today raining, can the website run real-time too?

drop ur startup link

Been watching this area since 9:21AM EST when the purple contour began to shade on the map near the AL/MS Border. app.torcast.pro

🚨 Behind the Engine : Meet the Developer Powering TorCAST Hey storm chasers, mets, and weather enthusiasts — I’m Brandon Walls, Chief Engineer, CISO, and founder of @TorCASTWX. My severe weather journey kicked off in earnest back in 2017 with the Georgia Storm Troopers — a 501(c)(3) volunteer organization dedicated to weather education, community alerts, and on-the-ground storm response across Georgia. What started as chasing and monitoring threats in our own backyard (right after those devastating Albany-area tornadoes) quickly grew into something bigger. As an active Board Member and contributor, I built tools like Dorothy — an early automated alert system that helped the team relay faster, more precise local warnings. That hands-on experience chasing storms, issuing real-time updates, and seeing the gaps in public awareness pushed me to merge my broadcast engineering roots with deep meteorological insight. The result? TorCAST — a next-level platform that doesn’t just track radar, it surfaces the maximum plausible severe potential before storms fully organize. From 3D visualizations and AtmoSlice to the real-time TPI (Tornado Potential Index) that flagged threats hours early — every feature is rooted in years of real-world storm trooping across Georgia. This isn’t just software. It’s the evolution of lessons learned in the field since 2017. What feature or improvement would you love to see next in TorCAST?

Colorado.. what is going on over there?

🚨 TorCAST flagged it hours ago. Tornado Warning now issued for Hancock, Harrison, and Pearl River Counties in Mississippi. Maximum Potential + Realization captured in real time. Live view here: app.torcast.pro

New little feature coming soon, TorCAST's AtmoSlice Parcel (Virtual Weather Balloon)... No..this doesnt replace a real weather balloon. We aren't dummies. This shows the current atmospheric data at different levels in a nice weather balloon type animation. app.torcast.pro

@KorinLee Environment primed — loaded gun type of setup .. keep watching :) thanks for using TorCAST

Hoping these storms will move northeast towards my town tracking these storm on forecast pro @TorCASTWX

Quick little spin up inside the “Tornado Capable” (red) contour.. realization of maximum potential. app.torcast.pro

5/20/2026 Backend updates -- Changed some formulas to cut back on the noise and allow the confidence layer to be a driver in how the map is displayed...brighter colors = higher confidence, lower color (lower opacity) = lower confidence Frontend Added spotter network locations (ALL) Fixed Meso Discussions (Hopefully) DAY 1 Forecast now has a submenu with +3 hour and +6hour Fixed saved toggled options state torcast.pro Live Map - > app.torcast.pro

581 tornadoes have already been reported in the U.S. this year about 25% above average. Make sure you have multiple ways to receive alerts, including the gold standard: NOAA Weather Radio. Stay alert and stay weather aware.

Check out this incredible 3D trajectory of the parachuted sensor as it completed three revolutions around the #tornado, with widet circumference with height. The sensor then sampled the “vent” at the upper reaches of the dynamic pipe. It reached velocities of at least 140 mph. This is a historic accomplishment in science and engineering by @WillClay25

TorCAST has Michigan covered organized severe threat has realized with multiple severe thunderstorms currently. app.torcast.pro

Another good example of TorCAST’s hyper-local resolution today. Hours ago it was already highlighting a Tornado Capable environment (TPI 4.7) right where discrete supercells developed and SVR warnings followed. The high-resolution contours continue to do a nice job picking out these localized threat areas within the broader setup. app.torcast.pro

TorCAST Day 1 – Quick Take 55% Conditional Organized Severe potential focused on Texas (mainly central/north). Supercell mode possible if storms initiate. Southern OK looks weaker/more marginal. This is maximum potential, not a probability. Weak forcing = initiation is uncertain. Could easily go either way today. #txwx #okwx app.torcast.pro

TorCAST stats for the last 24 hours, this shows how effective the ML is learning about different scenarios that produce severe weather.

Trying out TorCAST as a stream -- unsure if i want to go this route, but here it is if you want to check it out! youtube.com/live/MJLkKZeQU…

TorCAST just finished another cycle run, and extended the Intense/Significant (Pink) Tornado Potential ahead of the current line. app.torcast.pro

The most intense section of storms is firing right along the "Purple/Pink" contours which TorCAST indicates as a Intense Tornado Potential. If you have been following TorCAST for this long -- you know these purples/pinks do not show up every day. app.torcast.pro
