We're launching the first crowdfunded mission to blend YouTube live streaming with live weather data collection. We're launching weather balloons with radiosondes to capture live storm data including temperature, humidity, pressure, and wind, from ground to 85,000 feet, streamed free on YouTube, WxEye.org and RadarOmega for forecasters and you. Unlike using strictly weather models, live sonde data gives a raw, real-time look at the atmosphere, catching details like wind shear or inversions that refine forecasts and spot storm potential.

On the ground, our portable and adaptable mesonet will map hyper-local conditions in high resolution, sending telemetry every 5 seconds to our servers and then to you. This interactive science project engages the public with open-source data, boosting weather education and safety.

Without big grants or huge checks, we're relying on YOU, our audience, to make this happen. $25,000 funds April, May, and June's launches and an additional 20 mesonet sensors for 2026.

To comply with GoFundMe's terms of service, we're required to state that no raffles, sweepstakes, giveaways, or promotions are offered in exchange for any donations.
