WBTV First Alert Weather app review: dedicated weather forecasting for residents of Charlotte, North Carolina

Introduction

This is a very heavily-featured weather forecasting app for iPhone and iPad app that is designed to provide complete coverage for Charlotte and the surrounding regions, featuring live radar map imagery and up to 10 days’ worth of predictions.

What we have here is a run-of-the-mill weather app that doesn’t really go above and beyond what is offered by comparable developments.

I am pleased to see, however, that the developer has added in video content from the WBTV studios as this caters nicely to users who prefer a more televised feel to their weather information. If you’re used to watching the weather reports on TV then this should appeal to you very much so.

Dedicated Weather Forecasting for Charlotte, North Carolina

WBTV First Alert Weather features a fairly wide array of functionality, with the weather information for your local area being available in a variety of formats, based largely on the level of detail you’re looking for.

Besides the obvious live radar map imagery, the Map section also offers a basic summary of today’s current temperature, wind speed and direction, and humidity, and you can also get a quick snapshot view of tomorrow’s weather conditions to get a rough idea of how you might need to dress to stay warm.

While the visual format of the Map section is quite interesting, I would imagine that the majority of you are probably going to want to see a more basic format for your forecasts, so I would recommend taking a look at the 10 Day section.

The 10 Day section provides a basic overview of the conditions you can expect for the next week or so, and by tapping on a particular day you can view additional information such as the sunrise and sunset times, UV Index, and a prediction for the evening weather.

If you’d like a clearer idea of what to expect out on the roads for tomorrow morning, perhaps for your work commute, then the Hourly section should be perfect for that as it provides a detailed breakdown of the hourly variances in temperature and other factors for the coming day.
