EzyRadar is a real-time, interactive weather radar and alert monitoring platform developed by Liveezy Studios.
It delivers high-quality radar imagery, global precipitation data, and National Weather Service (NWS) alerts in a sleek, browser-based interface.

Built on the Leaflet mapping engine, EzyRadar visualizes live atmospheric conditions using layered radar imagery from NOAA, NASA, and other global meteorological networks.
Users can animate radar loops, view active alerts within map bounds, adjust quality and opacity, and receive AI-generated situation summaries — all without requiring an account or external software.
