WAVE 3 Louisville Weather app review: weather maps, video content, 10-day forecasting, and much more

Introduction

Coming to you exclusively from the kind folks over at the WAVE 3 News studios is this excellent weather forecasting app which provides extensively detailed reports covering the next 10 days, as well as severe weather alerts, video and blog content, and plenty of other additional features to boot.

I’m not going to award the developer of this app any points for originality because the design of the interface is very much the same as dozens of other apps within the Weather category of the App Store. Having said that, though, WAVE 3 Louisville Weather does appear to be more than capable of providing accurate weather reports, and with all of the extra content on top of the weather reporting you’re sure to find everything you need.

Fantastic Forecasting

When you first start using WAVE 3 Louisville Weather it will use your iPhone’s GPS in order to find your current location so that you can receive the weather conditions for your local area within a matter of seconds.

From here, you’ll be presented with the basic Map section which includes a live and animated radar map image of your area so that you can keep an eye on any rain, snow, or other weather fronts which may be headed your way.

Within this section you’ll also find a basic overview of the weather conditions for yesterday, today, and tomorrow, and this is great for those of you who want a quick at-a-glance view of the weather without the need for loads of extra detail.

 

Loads of Detail

If you do want a little more detail then you can visit the 10-Day section to see what the next week or so holds in store. Tap on a specific day to bring up extra information, including high and low temperatures, precipitation, sunrise and sunset times, UV Index, and more.

If that still isn’t enough detail for you, the Hourly section contains a detailed breakdown of the weather for the coming 24 hours including wind speed and direction, temperature, and a general overview of the conditions so you’ll know whether rain is heading your way.

You’ll also be able to receive severe weather alerts, and I think this is very important for those of you who live in areas which are more prone to nasty weather as it means you can always stay one step ahead of any nasty storms which might be approaching your locale.
