So in your honest opinion what is the BEST Weather program out there for our phones?

[Cumulus]

Does anyone know of an app that will notify you IMMEDIATELY (not something that checks for updates every 60 seconds) of *any* NWS bulletin of my choosing (unlimited number of choices) for a given list of counties and/or states (maybe choosable by the FIPS/SAME code for the countie(s)), and allow you to view the text of the bulletin. And I wonder how hard it would be to actually parse the EMWIN data stream. Also, something that actually parses the graphical weather observations data from the NWS-issued State Weather Roundup product instead of commercial moneybags like weather.com and accuweather, would seriously be nice. And a mobile version of the NWR player from wunderground would also be good.

Okay so my weather needs go a little deeper then most of you (from the looks of it). oh well ....any suggestions?

Not sure anything will be real time. Weather Panel will be your best bet IMO. You can customize it to do just about anything.

SBSH also fits into the Pocket Plus tab with no problem. I love Pocket Plus.

I agree. I was a WP (WeatherPanel) user for a long time, however, since we all know that the developer is AWOL, there will be no updates. After SBSH PW 2 was released, I noticed that it had the same skinning abilities as WP, so I made the switch and haven't looked back. That, and storyr has converted some of his skins to PW!!!

Tried weatherpanel... it wouldn't even download the latest forecast.... although I may have done something wrong, I only fiddled with it for a few short minutes, as I was in a hurry to get to the grocery store. I'm definitely in need of something realtime though.

Thanks

I use The Weather Channels txt service it sends you a text message as soon as any watches/warnings are updated for the county's that you choose. It's gets kinda annoying during a weather event in the middle of the night though, but I could see it working for a storm spotter. It doesn't tell you the exact details of the alert from NWS, but for that I use Weather Watcher mobile gives you the exact text from NWS.
