FOR FORECAST STORMS AND RADAR

DARK SKY

WHY: I check this app to get a realistic extended forecast for my area, as well as a real-time weather update. Its radar map and predicted path of nearby weather have proven to be more accurate when compared to other apps I use for the same purpose. Its hourly forecasts also seem to be pretty accurate, and it provides more detailed information in its custom notifications.

WHY NOT: Don’t be lulled into a false sense of security; like any weather forecasting tool, it is not 100 percent accurate.
