Weather tracking for some people is serious business and NOAA Hi-Def Radar, using the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration data, is one of those apps.
Today, version 1.1.0.12 of the Windows 8.1 and Windows Phone 8.1 apps are going out to the Store and with it a bevy of changes, fixes, and improvements.

NOAA Hi-Def Radar is a US-based weather service, as such it won't be useful to those residing outside of the States. However, for those in the US, the universal app looks to be one of the best for radar information, detailed forecasts and hurricane tracking. Hopefully, today's update addresses many of the early bugs that some users have experienced.
NOAA Hi-Def Radar runs for $1.99 although that price unlocks both versions for Windows and Windows Phone. Unfortunately, there is no free trial due to the request of NOAA.
