Amazing apps that alert me to rain and ligtning

[holstein13]

A few months ago I found a great app for my iphone called "Dark Sky" that alerts me when it's about to rain. My experience with it so far has been remarkably good. I'd say it's about 60% - 75% accurate. It has a nice alert jingle and gives me time to bring in chairs, awnings, etc. It also tells me when it should stop raining and it's hyper local.

Recently, I found another good app by weather underground called "Storm" that alerts me when rain is in my area and also lightning. This new app has a great storm tracking radar that projects the storms into the future. It's my new favorite app.

I also noticed that the Weather Channel's app does something similar but I haven't had great luck with it so far.

We have an English Springer Spaniel that is 100% accurate at predicting thunder storms. She knows at least 20-30 minutes before there is any sign of them to us humans.

I'm running STORM as well. It's a morphed Intellicast with better features, but IMO an inferior screen to the other. The rain alert can be set to a specific area or in Follow Me mode and works really well.

To those that have it, they have an upgrade for it to remove Ad's for one or two years if you use the keyword 'Storm1'
