Layers

Raster Maps - Weather & Map Layers

The following is the complete set of supported layers sorted by type for Xweather Raster Maps. Use our Map Builder to quickly generate your static map and tile layers with the layer combinations you need, or refer to our layer usage documentation for more information on requesting map imagery.

Layer Modifiers
Some layers support additional modifiers, which can be used to control the type of data provided by the layer. You can include one modifier option from each modifier group supported by that layer separated by a dash, e.g. alerts-severe is a modifier on alerts.
