WTVR Weather CBS 6 Storm Center app review: dedicated weather forecasting for residents of Richmond, VA

Reviews

Introduction

If you live in Richmond, VA or any of the surrounding areas then you’ll definitely want to keep this app handy on your iPhone and iPad as it provides a full week’s worth of advance weather forecasting in addition to NOAA Storm Prediction Center outlooks and loads more.

The best iPhone apps for storm alerts

This is a very solid addition to the genre of weather forecasting apps, and although it doesn’t really bring anything new to the table I think Richmond residents will be happy to have a dedicated service like this at their fingertips.

You’ll find everything from live radar map imagery to social media content, and everything in between, so if you’re looking for an app that can offer a little more than the basic iOS Weather widget then I’d definitely recommend considering this one.
