live radar

Current weather monitoring

Live radar refers to real-time radar data, typically weather radar showing current precipitation, storm systems, and atmospheric conditions as they happen rather than from archived or forecast models.

News stations and weather apps feature live radar during severe weather: Let's check the live radar to see if that storm is headed our way.

The term emphasizes immediacy—you're seeing conditions now, not predictions.
