During the day at work or out running errands finding a television or even a computer to pull up the weather channel or page is not always an option. Apps are the newest way for people to get information, entertainment, and news quickly and easily from their smart phones. Current weather updates during severe weather is vital. Here are two apps that are the absolute best and will provide all of your weather needs.
TWC (The Weather Channel)
The Weather Channel app is by far the best all encompassing weather app available at this time. This app gives you weather forecasts for now, hourly, 36 hours, and 10 days. This app gives you a complete weather forecast for anywhere and anytime. This app allows the user to save locations in the data base that are easy to pull up and switch between. This way if you travel to certain places often or have loved ones in other cities or states you can quickly maneuver between your weather forecast and theirs. The Weather Channel app is immediately updated ever time you sign on to the app. This app has features that show you current pollen cast, video feed or current weather, and radar map. If there is severe weather going on around you or a loved one you can see videos of what the conditions are in those areas. This app is perfect for your everyday weather needs.
MyRadar
The MyRadar app is perfect for all you weather junkies who love to know exactly what the current conditions and forecasts are. This app mainly just focuses on the radar portion of weather. This app directly goes to your current location when you open it or you can choose a location to focus on. MyRadar’s high resolution animated radar helps you to see weather details even at the closest level. This app also gives you a snap shot of the basic weather temperatures and forecasts for the upcoming week. This app has a feature that will send you push notifications when there is severe weather in your area or in an area you have chosen as a priority. This app has an optional tornado tracker that can be activated whenever this type of weather occurs. This app is perfect for severe weather conditions or users who love to check the radar often and quickly.
Alarm.com
In the event of severe weather when Internet and cell phone towers are down there has to be a way for you to receive current and reliable weather alerts. Of all places, I found a company who specializes in Barker home security systems that has found a solution to this problem. They have connected their alarm panel to receive severe weather updates from their local monitoring station that also does their security monitoring. One of the features of the panel is that in these types of situations the panel will alert the user in the home of the current severe weather updates via their alarm.com app. Even if the Internet is down the panel will still be able to receive updates. They have really thought of all the ways to keep home owners and their families safe.
