I used to get asked – a lot – about which weather app is the best weather app. And I actually have a post on this site that I never ended up publishing that went through a handful of different weather apps to identify the best and worst apps based on options, radar, forecast ability, level of detail, etc.
But after all of that research I stopped and thought, ‘heck, why don’t I just make my own?’
So, with the help of Baron Weather in Huntsville, Alabama… I did.
The app isn’t available, publicly, quite yet… but it is getting close. We continue to work through a few issues but this should give you an idea about what it is capable of doing for you.
And why I think it is the last weather app you’ll ever need.
This thing has it all: Current conditions, hourly forecasts, daily forecasts, radar, model data ont eh radar, detailed forecasts, severe weather forecasts, tropical forecasts, monthly and seasonal outlooks, river level updates/forecasts from the LMRFC, Weather safety tips, hurricane prep tips, short-range national forecasts from the NWS and medium-range forecasts from the NWS, and – of course – a link to live storm coverage (which I may be moving to youtube, but more on that at a later time).
We still have a few kinks to work out. On some phones it isn’t playing nice with Wi-Fi rather than cell networks, and it is struggling to search for cities when you type them in (though you can still find them on the map), and there are a few other little bugs and tweaks needed.
Once I run through this bad boy a bit more and shake out as many bugs as I can… I’ll release it publicly and everyone can download it.
Nick, you’re a creative genius!! Thank you!!
Thank you for what you do by keeping us up own updated about the weather and other news God bless you and family’s
Nick! This is wonderful! I hope the little bugs are easily worked out and I can get it as soon as possible! Thank you,Thank you, Thank you!
