How it hangs together
Stormfront model
Open-Meteo convective data, per-region, hourly. Wrapped by three lenses: outlook, risk surface, lightning jump.
Lightning jump
Detects rapid flash-rate escalation as a storm-intensification signal. Higher cadence than outlook.
Winds surface
Reads Wind Atlas (ADS-B-derived upper-air) to put chaser-relevant winds on the map.
Back office
Community accounts, chase reports, verification reconciliation (TORRO MVP).
Stage 6 planned
ESWD verification reconciliation. DLA pending; TORRO MVP shipped.
