Macintosh OS X weather software

[Jody Radzik]

Are there any software packages available for the Macintosh along the lines of GRLevel3?

Thanks.

Have a look at the Radarlab HD thread in this forum; it's a Java app and I'm assuming you could get it to run on just about any platform that can support Java, including the Mac.

Thanks, John. I thought I'd read that Radarlab HD required an implementation of Java that wasn't available for the Mac, leaving me to think it was a PC-only piece of software. I'll try futzing around with it a bit more to see if I can get it to run.

Jody.. It works fine. I used it last week. (Intel Macbook Pro)

Jody,

RadarLab HD requires Java version 1.5 or higher. I think there are some older versions of Mac OS X that do not support Java 1.5. We have it running on a couple Macs here. Check out this thread about RadarLab HD on hardcoreweather.com:

Toward the bottom of the second page a member by the name of "satx_pilot" states that he has it running on his Mac as well as his PC's which are running Windows and Linux.

Thanks for all of your help. I've been able to get RadarLab HD to work by directing my machine to use the Java helper application to parse the file that downloads when I click the RadarLab HD product from the WeatherTap Radar page.

I think I'm good to go now!

WeatherScope is another decent radar viewing application for the mac. It may be a little tricky, however, to configure on the first use.
