A quick walkthrough of every section in the app — what it shows, where the data comes from, and what to watch for during severe weather.
Type a US city and state (e.g. Nashville, TN) into the search bar and press Go — or tap Use My Location to load weather for your current GPS position.
Your last-searched location is remembered automatically, so it reloads the next time you visit. You can also save favorites by clicking the star icon after searching.
The collapsible Morning Briefing card gives you a fast rundown before you scroll: today's conditions and high/low, tomorrow's outlook, current alert status, and a plain-English clothing suggestion.
Tap anywhere on the card header to expand or collapse it. The briefing updates automatically whenever weather or alert data refreshes — every 5 minutes for weather, every 60 seconds for alerts.
The hero card shows the current temperature, feels-like, and a short description of today's outlook. Below it, the conditions grid breaks down wind speed and direction, humidity, dew point, UV index, and visibility — all updated every 5 minutes from Open-Meteo.
The Past 24 Hours precipitation chart shows hourly rainfall totals from the last day so you can get a sense of what's already fallen.
Alerts are pulled directly from the National Weather Service every 60 seconds. When multiple alerts are active, they're sorted by severity so the most critical warning always appears first.
Tap any alert card to see the full NWS report text, including the affected area, effective and expiration times, and the issuing forecast office. A link to the complete report on weather.gov is included at the bottom of each detail view.
When multiple alerts are active simultaneously, they appear in this order: Tornado Emergency → PDS Tornado Warning → Observed Tornado Warning → Tornado Warning → Destructive SVR Warning → Severe Thunderstorm Warning → Flash Flood Warning → Flood Warning → Tornado Watch → SVR Watch → Flash Flood Watch → Flood Watch → Flood Advisory.
The radar panel loads the nearest NWS NEXRAD radar station automatically based on your location's forecast office (WFO). You can open it full-screen on weather.gov using the button below the radar view, or navigate to the full WFO page for additional products.
Each day shows a high/low, precipitation probability, and a condition summary. Tap any day card to expand it and see additional detail: feels-like range, total precipitation, rain and snow breakdown, max wind and gusts, UV index, and sunrise/sunset times.
On days forecast as thunderstorms, the expanded view shows the SPC Convective Outlook risk level for Days 1–3, pulled directly from the Storm Prediction Center. For Days 4–7, SPC categorical data isn't available, so only the model-derived condition is shown.
