SAN FRANCISCO, CA — (Marketwired) — 02/18/15 — Weather Underground releases Storm, a highly advanced app for weather enthusiasts and storm trackers alike.
Other weather apps on the market provide general severe weather and precipitation alerts, but Storm takes severe weather warnings to a new level by including not only the standard National Weather Service alerts, but also real-time lightning and precipitation alerts. With detailed storm tracks and predictive radar, this app allows users to see precisely where a storm is headed, which cities will be affected, and how much time residents will have to prepare. Through combining the highest resolution radar, forecasting technology and unparalleled levels of data, the Storm App was created.

Recognizing the strengths of both companies, we decided to join forces to create the ultimate storm tracking app — with its beautiful design, sophisticated radar and superior forecasting, professionals and weather enthusiasts alike are armed with the highest level of severe weather analysis,” says Jim Menard, General Manager of Weather Underground.
