One of the most memorable features of the early days of the online version of Stormtrack was the Target Area game. When I took over ST a couple years ago, it was in the back of my mind that I'd recreate it for the community and beyond. It's nearly complete now, and ready for you to try out at the link below! Features:
- Set a target for any severe weather event that occurs up to two days in the future
- Target wind, hail & tornadoes; score points for your attempts
- Points are calculated from the following criteria:
- Amount of time between your target placement and the actual event occurrence
- Target radius size in reference to where severe weather actually occurred
- The game outputs a heat map which serves as a dynamic crowdsourced weather model
- Sign up and play individually or join a team. Anyone can create a team
- There is no cost associated with the game
