Once again WSI Corporation has done a fantastic job of providing a localized weather forecasting service to locals of a specific region, courtesy, of course, of the folks over at the KRCR studios.

With more than a week’s worth of advance reporting, severe weather notifications, and loads more, this is a very well-developed and well-featured app which I think is going to provide Redding residents with a truly invaluable resource.

Dedicated Weather Forecasting for Redding, California

KRCR Wx has been designed to provide residents of Redding in California with detailed and accurate weather forecasting across a range of visual formats and timeframes, ranging from the current conditions at this very moment all the way up to a full 10-day forecast.

The 10 Day section is where you’ll find the latter of these two, detailing the high and low temperatures for the coming week and beyond, in addition to each day’s UV Index, sunrise and sunset times, visibility, and evening conditions.

The current conditions can be found in the Map section, which is the first thing you’ll see upon starting up the app. Here you’ll be able to see the temperature, wind information, and humidity, but if you want to know what’s to come later in the day then I’d recommend looking at the Hourly section.

 

Enjoy a Variety of Visual Formats

The hourly forecast provides a fairly detailed breakdown of the variances in temperature, chance of precipitation, and wind speed and direction over the next 24-hour period, so this is very handy for knowing whether you need to take out an umbrella or jacket…or both!

One thing that does stand out to me about this app is that the developer has included a Video section with live streaming and archived footage from the KRCR studios. This is good to see because some similar apps in this genre, and even by the same developer, don’t feature this.
