PlanesChat pulls METARs, TAFs, PIREPs, AIRMETs, SIGMETs, and NEXRAD radar directly from aviationweather.gov — the official FAA/NOAA source. No third-party reprocessing, no commercial weather provider middlemen.
Color-coded to FAA flight category (VFR green, MVFR blue, IFR red, LIFR magenta) so you can scan an entire region in seconds. Plain-English decoded view available on hover for less-common remarks.
NEXRAD composite radar layered on a pannable map alongside SIGMETs and surface analysis. The same source ForeFlight, Garmin Pilot, and EFB apps use — but free and in your browser.
Pin up to 5 airports on the free tier (unlimited on Pro). Your favorites surface their current METAR + TAF on the Dashboard so a quick go/no-go peek is one click away.
