WSB-TV Weather

Chief Meteorologist Glenn Burns and Severe Weather Team 2 have made the most accurate local weather app, “The WSBTV Weather App,” even better. New in 2015, Atlanta’s most powerful weather app includes the following:
Category Price Seller Device
Weather Free Cox Media Group, Inc iPhone, iPad, iPod

-- Push alerts are FREE for more than 100 weather alerts types including everything from tornado warnings to winter storm warnings, fog, fire, wind and tropical storm alert types. See a complete list inside the alert settings.
-- New map layers are now available to be added to the interactive radar including severe watch and warning layers, the cone of probability for tropical storms, storm reports and more. Tap the layers and settings buttons on radar to see a complete list.
-- Locally crafted forecasts. Select a location inside the Atlanta market to see a local forecast created by WSB’s local weather experts. The app tells you which member of Severe Weather Team 2 crafted the local forecast. National applications that come pre-loaded on your phone don’t have local experts focused solely on getting the local forecast right every day.
-- Place a location pin precisely where you want it for a specific address or any position on a map. When saving a location, just press and hold the pin and then drag it to the exact location you want.
-- A new location switcher in the app header allows you to quickly and easily cycle through all your saved locations and your current location.
-- Both tablet and handset apps now have identical features and similar designs to make the app more intuitive for power users that want to use the The WSBTV Weather App on multiple devices.
-- The new video center gives you quick access to multiple live streams and other timely weather coverage from Channel 2 Action News and Severe Weather Team 2. You can stay up to date as WSB-TV’s local experts track storms and provide minute-by-minute information on specific streets and neighborhoods threatened by a storm.
In addition to these new features, the The WSBTV Weather App still has these critical benefits:
-- The app is constantly updated with the latest area storm and forecast information and includes Severe Weather Team 2’s 5-day Forecast with the “Weekend Always in View.”

-- Live Stormtracker 2HD Radar zooms down to your neighborhood or zooms out to check radar anywhere in the country.

-- It provides Location-Based Storm Alerts. While many other apps offer alerts based on your county, The WSBTV Weather App supports a more precise type of alert issued for the most dangerous types of weather threats. More precision means you get alerts that matter to you, not false alarms.

WSB-TV’s Weather App keeps you in touch with Severe Weather Team 2 using social media including Facebook, Twitter and interactive uploads of your photos and videos directly from your mobile device.

This Weather App focuses on complete North Georgia Weather Coverage.

Reviews

I liked the old App MUCH BETTER!
cbsdaylight

With the old App the Radar was always right on target, now with the new App there’s a screwed up delay or something, and it will show heavy storms coming that’s really not as bad as the Radar shows, the old App when I saw ”red” I knew heavy storms were coming! The old App was MUCH MORE RELIABLE!!! Bring it back please!


I can’t take it anymore...
Linda Javadi

I LOVED the previous version. Current version is archaic. Takes TOOOO LONG to load and the features are horrible. I have been a user forever and hate that the developers are NOT listening to all of the comments being submitted. Weather is so important to us and we want quick reliable info at our fingertips. Your 5Star weather team deserves some Tech Support.

Your app forecasts frequently contradict your TV forecasts.


Whats Up With Local
Spear777

I cant find a single Weather App that is local and dependable. All I hear about is how its a necessity to have local during severe weather, lives depend on it but none is available tous locally. It took a year for the Channel 2 WeatherApp to get fixed last time and now its messed up again according to the reviews. Something is just not quite right about nothing being done to make knowledge available to us in our area...


PLEASE Go Back To The Old App!!!!

I don’t like the layout of the new one. It’s too long loading and the radar (not sure how this is possible) seems to be less accurate. I’m current having a small monsoon at my house yet radar shows rain no where near me! This has happened several times with the new app, but NEVER with the old one! Also, too awkward getting to video forecasts.

The Weather is never correct on this app. The other app was way better. Please fix it.


DARK MODE?
CHASE CUNNINGHAM

Can we get dark mode and stability fixes for iOS 13 ??


Weather app for iPad
Tim Wing

What a horrible app. Why even create and promote this app. Radar doesn’t load


Data hog
Hfcdjbffibv

Be prepared for this app to use a lot of data. I reset my data statistics to monitor my data usage this past billing cycle, and this is the data hog. I don’t open the app much, but I leave it to run when not in use for severe weather alerts, and it has pushed me over my data plan limit several times. I’m now removing this app and going with a different weather app that hopefully won’t use 95% of my data.


Radar

It’s raining. It’s been raining. The Weather Channel app shows its rating. But your radar is clear. This happens a lot no matter what settings I adjust. If you can’t provide this basic information, what’s the point?
