--- NOTES ---
RainAware is for use in the continental United States. RainAware relies on National Weather Service radars and may not work properly if a radar is down or if the beam is blocked by mountains. In rare instances, ground clutter may result in a false positive for rain at your location. Extremely light sprinkles or drizzle may not always be detected. Precipitation times will change as RainAware adjusts to rapidly changing weather conditions. Precipitation can form suddenly or dissipate at any time. Works best when precipitation is moving. Times are estimates and have inherent error. Advanced settings are there to mitigate these issues.
Like the credit card commercial, “I never leave home without it !” I work outdoors and need an accurate forecast and precipitation time and “Rain Aware” is my choice every time !
Took a week before I stopped even checking it..It points out the obvious and Accuweather gives you a better breakdown ..for free
I find this app very accurate and have used all over the country over the past few years.
App has definitely improved. It would be nice if there was an iOS widget though.
The past month the accuracy has been very poor. I use to brag about how accurate you are but lately pretty poor. Also if you could activate an alert when storms pop up would be very helpful.
