WECT 6 First Alert Weather app review: detailed weather forecasting for residents of North Carolina

Reviews

Introduction

Residents of North Carolina looking for a reliable resource of weather reports and related information are going to relish this app. It provides detailed forecasts over a 10-day time frame and across a variety of visual formats to suit all preferences.

The best iPad apps for weather

This is a run-of-the-mill weather app which features the most common type of interface design in the Weather category of the App Store.

This is certainly not the most innovative development of its kind but it definitely delivers on all of its promises. I think that North Carolinians will benefit greatly from having a dedicated regional service for all of their meteorological needs!

From here you’ll be taken to the Locations menu which enables you to save however many locations for which you are interested in viewing the weather conditions. You can also use your iPhone’s built-in GPS to find your current location and start viewing forecasts for your local area right away.

From here, the main Map section will be updated with live radar imagery for your region, enabling you to track rain, snow, and other weather fronts as they progress throughout your area. This screen also displays a handy overview of the weather conditions for today, yesterday, and tomorrow.

Another cool feature I like is the Video section. In here you’ll find live streaming and archived videos from the guys over at WECT 6, so this is ideal for those of you who prefer more of an audio-visual presentation when it comes to getting your daily weather.
