    I have accuweather and the weather channel app. The weather channel app I mainly use for the "interstate forcast" and weather allerts.

    I also have accounts with Cdot, wdot, Udot, Idot to name a few. when I know we are going through and the weather kight be bad, I change my setting with that account and I will get weather alerts, chain laws, and road closers. I tried twitter accounts but got to much garbage.

    NOAA is working on an app that works like the "emergency radios" but for your cell phone. I haven't checked lately cause their website is a major pain to navigate with my tablet ( I didnt bring my laptop this trip)

    Just downloaded this. Radar works well. Will it give me thunderstorm/tornado watches and warnings as I drive?
