Radarscope is by far the best radar app out there. Unfortunately, Radarscope isn’t free—it costs $9.99—but it’s worth it if you’re serious about wanting to stay ahead of storms heading your way.

Timmer, who lives in Golden, Colorado, is a storm chaser.
405-627-XXXX.
According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, atmospheric scientists (which include meteorologists) earn $92,070 per year. Many of them are storm chasers, like Timmer, who make a living by licensing the jaw-dropping video footage they capture on the ground to media outlets.
Storm chasing does cost a lot of money though and as a complete amateur your only viable option is to go on a storm chasing tour. The cheapest tour as of now is the May mini tour by Silver Lining Tours which cost $1.500 for a 4 day tour and it is sold out for 2019 already.
The Bureau of Labor Statistics reports the annual median pay in 2016 for meteorologists was $92,460, or $44.45 per hour. This figure is variable and is contingent on market size, location and shift assignment. In a small market, TV weather forecasters may make $35,000 for weekend evenings and a morning/noon shift.
