Florida Weather Radar by City

Miami

Miami radar covers South Florida and the Atlantic coast, the first stop for tropical waves and hurricanes approaching from the east. It also tracks the daily sea-breeze thunderstorms that build over the metro area.

Tampa

Tampa Bay radar covers the Gulf coast of Florida, where afternoon thunderstorms and tropical systems make landfall from the west. Tampa Bay is also one of the most lightning-prone areas in the country.

Orlando

Orlando radar covers central Florida, where sea breezes from both coasts collide and trigger some of the most frequent thunderstorms in the United States, especially on summer afternoons.

Jacksonville

Jacksonville radar covers northeast Florida and the Georgia border, tracking tropical systems moving up the Atlantic coast and severe storms sweeping in from the west.

How to Use This Florida Radar Hub

Start with the statewide radar loop above for the big picture, then open a city radar below for street-level detail. The live warnings feed shows current National Weather Service alerts for Florida, so you can see at a glance whether any part of the state is under a warning right now.

For a wider view, the regional radar page covers neighboring states and the same storm systems from a different angle. During hurricane season, coastal city radars are the ones to watch first; during severe weather season, inland city radars show storms as they develop.

Frequently Asked Questions: Florida Weather Radar

Where can I see live Florida weather radar?
This page shows a live Florida Doppler radar loop at the top, with current National Weather Service warnings for Florida below it. For street-level detail, open a city radar for Miami, Tampa, Orlando, or Jacksonville from the links below.
Why does Florida get thunderstorms almost every summer afternoon?
Sea breezes from the Atlantic and Gulf coasts push inland and collide over the Florida peninsula, forcing warm, humid air upward into thunderstorms. That is why summer afternoons in central and south Florida so often end with a downpour and lightning, even on days that start sunny.
Which Florida radar should I watch during a hurricane?
Watch the radar for the coast nearest the storm: Miami for systems approaching from the Atlantic, Tampa for Gulf approaches, and Jacksonville for storms moving up the East Coast. Our hurricane tracker page also follows Atlantic and Gulf storms with a dedicated tropical loop.
Does Florida radar show lightning?
The Doppler radar loop on this page shows precipitation, not lightning directly. For lightning safety, follow the rule: when thunder roars, go indoors, and stay inside until 30 minutes after the last thunder. Severe thunderstorm warnings in the feed below also note when a storm is producing frequent lightning.
