First Alert Weather app review: local forecast, radar and current weather conditions for Jackson and Central Mississippi-2020

Introduction

If you happen to live in or around Jackson and Central Mississippi then this will almost certainly prove to be a must-have local weather app. This first alert weather app delivers reliably accurate weather forecasts for up to 10 days into the future, presented across a variety of visual formats.

The best iPad apps for weather

This is a very standard weather alert app which features a very similar interface and general layout compared to many other apps that show local weather forecasts within the Weather category of the App Store.

I really would like to see more originality and innovation with apps of this kind; however, this is a tried and tested formula which, to put it simply, works very well. If you are a Jackson or Central Mississippi resident then I would definitely recommend checking out First Alert Weather.

First Alert local weather app runs on devices with iOS 12.0 or later with support of up to iOS 14.0 and it is compatible with iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch. It will need 127.8 MB of free memory space on your mobile device to download and install.  Check out our best weather apps list for more details.

One Mississippi, Two Mississippi...

The first thing I would recommend doing upon first starting up First Alert Weather is to tap the house icon in the top right-hand corner of the screen. This will take you to the Locations section which will determine your location so that you can get the most accurate weather information for your area.

This app also enables you to store multiple locations besides your own, which I think is ideal for keeping an eye on the weather conditions for vulnerable relatives who may live in areas which are particularly prone to severe weather conditions.

View 10 Days of Weather Forecasts

Speaking of less-than-ideal weather, the Alerts section of First Alert Weather allows you to set up Weather Alert Notifications so that you can receive Push notification alerts whenever severe storms, flash floods, tornadoes, or any other nasty weather fronts might be heading in your direction.

As for the basic weather forecasting functionality of this app, you can view reports across anything from a 10-day timeframe all the way down to an hourly breakdown of today’s weather conditions.

If you prefer a more visual approach then you’ll want to take a look at the Map section. In here you’ll find live radar map imagery, enabling you to track the movement of various weather fronts across your region while also grabbing an at-a-glance overview of today’s current weather conditions.
