Introduction

This iPhone and iPad app has been developed to provide local residents of Roanoke, Virginia with weather forecasting functionality that can be depended upon to provide daily and even hourly updates, including severe weather notifications that will inform users of any impending storms.

This appears to be a fairly run-of-the-mill addition to the Weather category of the App Store, presenting its information in a very common style of interface. This is a tried and tested app design that has proven to be very popular with users throughout the United States, and for good reason.

If you live in or around Roanoke and you’re looking for a decent weather app, I think it’s safe to say you just found it!

Dedicated Weather Forecasting for Roanoke, Virginia

wdbj7weather is capable of providing information on local weather conditions in a variety of visual formats.

For example, those of you wanting to know whether to bring a jacket to an afternoon picnic can check the Hourly section before setting out in the morning. On the other hand, if you’re planning a road trip for a couple of days, you can find everything you need to know in the 10 Day section.

Within these sections you’ll find all of the usual weather information that you’d hope to see, including things such as high and low temperatures, chance of precipitation, humidity, and wind speed and direction, as well as slightly more obscure factors such as UV Index and sunrise and sunset times.

 

Save Multiple Locations In One Convenient Place

What’s more, this app enables you to save multiple locations within the app, which allows you to easily access weather information for areas further out from Roanoke. This is perfect for keeping an eye on areas where you may have more vulnerable relatives living.

In addition to all of this, you’ll also find the Map section to be very interesting, providing live radar map imagery that enables you to keep track of the past and predicted future movements of rain, snow, and various other weather fronts as they make their way throughout your region.
