WIS News 10 FirstAlert Weather app review: dedicated weather forecasting for the residents of Columbia, South Carolina

Introduction

Coming to you from the good people of the WIS News 10 studios is this awesome weather forecasting app for iPhone and iPad that provides dedicated coverage for the Columbia, South Carolina region and delivers unrivaled accuracy and dependability every day of the week.

Come rain or shine, the locals of Columbia should be able to regularly rely on this app for consistent weather forecasting, and it’s great to see the information available across such a wide range of timeframes and visual formats. These range from the current conditions all the way up to a full 10-day forecast.

I’m also glad to see that the developer has gone to the trouble of including a Video section in this app. Developers of comparable apps often neglect this kind of content, and I think it really help to round off the app with a slightly more personal touch and a friendly human face.

Dedicated Weather Forecasting for Columbia, South Carolina

The first thing you’ll want to do when you initially begin using WIS News 10 FirstAlert Weather is to tap the house icon at the top-right of the Map section.

This will take you to the Locations menu, and from here you can either manually search for your location or synchronize the app with your current location by using your device’s integrated GPS. Once this is done, go back to the Map section and you should see a detailed radar map of your region.

This Map section is great for those of you who prefer a more graphical approach to your weather reporting as it includes overlays for rain, snow and other weather fronts, plus you can easily see a snapshot view of the current temperature, humidity, and wind speed and direction.

Receive Severe Weather Notifications

If you live in an area which is particularly susceptible to severe weather conditions then be sure to take a look at the Alerts section. Using Push notifications, you can always stay one step ahead of any storms, hurricanes, and other nasty weather that might be headed in your direction.
