FOX6 WBRC StormWarn Center app review: local forecasts, live radar imagery, and current weather conditions for Alabama

Reviews

Introduction

Whether you’re planning a picnic or keeping an eye on the road conditions for your daily work commute, this app should give everything that residents of Alabama need to make a fair assessment of the weather conditions and plan accordingly.

This is a great app for weather forecasting, with coverage for up to 10 days into the future. The interface used by the developer is very similar to many comparable developments within the Weather category of the App Store, but this lack of originality certainly does not detract from the efficacy of the app overall.

Dedicated Weather Forecasting for Alabama

When you first start using FOX6 WBRC StormWarn Center, it should automatically use your device’s integrated GPS. This way, it can determine your current location and begin delivering relevant weather details for your local area.

Alternatively, you can tap the house icon in the top right-hand corner of the screen to access the Locations menu. From here you can actually save multiple locations, which I think is ideal for keeping an eye on your daily commute or perhaps more vulnerable relatives who live out of town.

If you’re looking for some detailed forecasting then I would recommend checking out the Hourly section. This is where you’ll find an hour-by-hour breakdown of today’s conditions, including details such as high and low temperatures, chance of precipitation, and wind speed and direction.

Those of you who are simply looking for a basic summary should find the Map section more than adequate. As well as live radar map imagery you’ll also find an overview of the weather conditions for today, yesterday, and tomorrow, so this section is where you’ll most likely be able to get the majority of the information you need.

If you happen to live in an area that is particularly susceptible to severe weather conditions then you’ll definitely want to take a look at the Alerts section. From here you can set up Push notifications informing you of any storms, flash floods, and tornadoes that might be heading in your direction.
