Introduction
Coming to you from the good people over at the WTXL studios is this fantastic weather forecasting app for iPhone and iPad that is designed to provide locals of Tallahassee, Florida with a reliable dedicated source of meteorological information every single day of the week.

I really like the way this app has been presented, and although the interface itself is rather generic it definitely gets the job done very nicely. I’m also pleased to see the inclusion of a Video section as this is sometimes missing from similar developments within the same genre.
If you live in or around Tallahassee then I’d definitely suggest checking out this app because I think you’ll probably find it to be a little more tailored to your requirements than the standard iOS Weather widget, or some of the more generically-featured weather apps.

The more basic forecasting content is found in the 10 Day and Hourly sections of the app, where you’ll be able to see everything from an hourly breakdown of today’s conditions to a full 10-day forecast complete with high and low temperatures, sunrise and sunset times, and evening forecasts.
View Live Radar Map Imagery
The more visually-minded of you will most likely prefer the Video and Map sections. The former offers live streaming and archived video footage directly from the WTXL studios, while the latter provides live radar map imagery of the Tallahassee region with overlays for rain, snow and other weather fronts.

[As an aside, I’m often at a loss when reviewing weather apps; does Florida ever actually see any snow?!]
The Map section is also very handy in that it provides a quick at-a-glance view of the current temperature, humidity, and wind speed and direction, while also showing a simplified prediction for tomorrow’s weather.
