Terrier: Your Energetic Ally in Visualization
- Advanced weather data visualization tool
- Stunning, interactive displays on the web and mobile
- Offers WMTS and WMS endpoints for traditional integration
When it comes to bringing weather data to life, Terrier is your energetic ally in visualization. From web applications to mobile platforms, Terrier’s advanced GPU shaders and sophisticated edge logic ensure stunning, interactive displays of your weather data. While we recommend Terrier for cutting-edge visual experiences, it also plays well with others, offering WMTS and WMS endpoints for traditional integration. Terrier isn’t just a visualization tool; it’s your dynamic sidekick in weather data presentation.

When Visibility Matters, Fog Visualization Makes the Difference
Fog is one of the most underestimated weather hazards, often forming quickly and reducing visibility with little warning. Effective fog visualization provides critical awareness of where fog is developing and how it evolves over time. By ingesting HRRR model data and visualizing low-level clouds through Terrier, Wet Dog Weather delivers a clear, high-resolution view of fog conditions that supports safer, better-timed decisions.
Introducing Our New WWA Weather Data Pipeline
Wet Dog Weather now supports WWA weather data across Terrier for Mobile, giving developers access to NWS Warnings, Watches, and Alerts. This new capability includes full polygons, event details, and all NWS fields, marking the start of our vector-based weather data projects.
Making Winter Easier With Better Winter Weather Data
Winter weather data plays a critical role in how teams prepare for rapidly evolving cold-season hazards. A single degree can flip a snow event into icy conditions, and model disagreements often add more confusion. This post explains why winter weather still surprises operations teams and how better visualization tools can make the season easier to manage.
