Weather Forecasting

[pmeunier]

Ok I think the weather tab is kind of lacking because it doesn’t have any radar capabilities. I mean really if I want to know what its doing right now I look outside but if storms are headed my way I’d like to see how much time I have before they arrive so here’s my question. Are there any radar apps for the TP2 and if not what is the best mobile friendly site to view live animated radar images?

I use WeatherRadar which overlays on top of the Manila weather tab. Here's a link to one of my posts where all needed files are attached and directions are given on installation:

I use GPS weatherradar, uses gps to determine where you are and gives you a radar pic of the area. Can't find the cab on here right now, but gimme a bit and I'll load her up if I can't find the thread it was from.

Edit: I can't load it up cuz I'm here at work, but if you google GPS weather pro, I believe it's freeware, works great for me, I was tracking some nasty stuff coming through my area yesterday and you can set it to loop, etc.

GPS WeatherRadar is available in Marketplace...and incredibly enough its still free.

Here's the cabs. v2.3.1 I've been using, just found 2.4 later in this thread, so I have no idea if bug free. 2.3.1 will work with 6.1/6.5/6.5.X.

Seems like I used this (and loved it) on Windows 6.1, but once I went to Windows 6.5.x it stopped working consistently. I don't recall the issues, but I know I found it intolerable. What versions of Windows and Sense are you running?

Just go to mobile.wundergroundweather.com & type in your zipcode.

Their forecasts are super accurate & include radar.

Ya I wish I had it the last 2 days. lost power for 5 hours the other day. thought for sure they were going to open the EOC last night but it ended up being minor. stay safe to the south and as long as Delcarmen stays off the mound I think we'll be ok brother

This looks very very interesting. I am currently on Sprint Lovers 6.5.x latest ROM. Just installed it and it works fine so far. still looking for a radar loop though. I don't think this has it but its a very nice program.

weather panel running in a 2nd today screen works well also.

I can't find it in the marketplace. if you have the cab can you post it up so I can try it?
