Storm Tracker Weather app review: extensive weather reporting for residence of Lexington, Kentucky

Reviews

Introduction

If you happen to be a resident of Lexington, Kentucky or any of the surrounding regions such as Richmond, Danville, or Lawrenceburg, then this app is an absolute must-have for up-to-the-minute weather forecasting that you can really rely on for dedicated coverage.

The best iPhone apps for storm alerts

Although the developer certainly doesn’t receive any points for originality in terms of the interface and overall layout of this app, I think it is a very sound option for people who want a weather app that is delivered by their local news station.

This is a very solid development which receives an equally solid recommendation from me!

Reliable Weather Forecasting for Kentucky Residents

When you first begin using Storm Tracker Weather, I would recommend starting by tapping the house icon in the top right-hand corner of the main interface.

From here, you’ll be able to use your iPhone’s integrated GPS in order to determine your current location so that you can immediately begin receiving weather forecasting for your local area.

The Map section is where most of you will probably get the majority of your information from this app. On this screen you’ll find a live radar map image of your region so that you can track weather fronts as they move across the area.

This screen also provides a basic overview of the conditions for today, yesterday, and tomorrow, with today’s temperature, humidity, and wind speed and direction added for good measure.

If you need a little more detail then I’d definitely recommend checking out the Hourly section as this contains an hour-by-hour breakdown of today’s conditions, displaying variances in the temperature, precipitation, and much more.

There is also a section containing archived video content from the MRSS Video Playlist so that you can actually watch the most recent LEX 18 weather forecasts straight from your iPhone. This is a great feature and is definitely going to be more engaging for some than simply reading a forecast.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Detailed weather reporting for residents of Lexington, Kentucky
  • Watch the most recent Storm Tracker Weather weather forecasts straight from your iPhone
  • Live radar map imagery
  • Forecasts are available for the next 10 days across a range of timeframes and formats
  • Receive alerts for severe weather conditions

 

Cons

  • There is nothing negative to say about this app

 

Final Words

There are so many generic weather forecasting apps in the App Store, with not so many catering for specific regions of the country, so I think that Storm Tracker Weather is probably a safer bet than something that is designed to cover the whole world.

Even disregarding that point for a moment, I think the video forecasts from the Storm Tracker Weather studios alone make this app more than worthwhile checking out if you should live in Kentucky.
