The sheer number of weather apps runs deeper than my love for pancakes but the Weather Channel has its own, you know, channel. And we all know that society judges something based upon whether or not it’s on TV.
So in that spirit, the Weather Channel app is a good place to start. It’ll show you the forecast based on your location using the phone’s GPS chip, there are radar maps, severe weather alerts, 10-day forecasts, and you can even set up automatically updating widgets on your phone’s home screen.
