Best weather app?
 
As a newcomer, trying to find best weather app to track pop up storms. Any suggestions?

I like MyRadar for tracking storms and getting notifications. Weatherbug for hourly forecasts. Your mileage may vary.

I'll add Storm Radar and Lightening Pro.

I like the local WESH weather, you can download their app and get real time updates and alerts.

I use :"Flordia Storms" for alerts.

If it's truly a pop up you are interested in.................no app, use your eyes and shelter.

I have and love, My Radar. However, I’ve noticed that there is about a 10 minute delay on when it starts raining, vs when it actually appears on the radar. Weather Underground is also a good app to have. But noticing the darkening skies and an increase in wind speed is your best clue to an approaching storm. Especially here in Florida, where there is lightning involved. Best to seek shelter when that happens vs what the app says.

The best weather app is a cat. It could be bright and sunny but once mine runs under the bed i know a storm is coming.

I need to have your cat teach our cats that trick, ours stay out and come in wet!! They sometimes stay out even when there is thunder, unless it is real close.

I use Happy Weather app.
Every day, the forecast is for sunny and warm, with a 1-hour rain shower every night at 1am. to keep yard green and fresh.
Totally useless, but so positive and cheerful.

The Weather Bug app is great. It lets you set locations or use Current Location. It will alert you to Lightning with 10 miles. It has previous and future radar map, as well as many others - including Lightning Strike map.
I found it easier to use just the one app. I believe all the apps use the same data source for predictions, so I doubt and difference accuracy wise.

Weather Underground.

We use the Carrot weather app. However you have to pay to get radar. It gives a lot of information, which I have found to be accurate, as far as weather forecasting goes.
