Here's a temperature screenshot from Dark Sky on my iPhone. <\/em> <\/p>\n Ed, with his background in radio, still checks to see what various stations are forecasting. On the other hand, I have narrowed down my primary weather advisor to a favorite weather app. <\/p>\n Dark Sky<\/strong><\/p>\n The app that talks to me all day, sending me notifications about weather changes that I can use, is Dark Sky with Weather Radar, Hyperlocal Forecasts, and Storm Alerts<\/a>. It has been very busy this month letting me know that flurries, light snow, heavy snow, or snow was coming soon. It also has simple, sensible, easy to understand visuals that let me plan my day and my week.<\/p>\n While alerts are often something you knew was going to happen, occasionally weather changes pop up without warning. Last summer, we were walking our dog about a mile from home when Dark Sky alerted me that heavy rain was coming, soon.<\/p>\n We turned for home and caught up with a neighbor and her dogs along the way. We told her it was going to rain hard and how we knew. She doubted the prediction but walked along with us. We were nearly home when the sky opened and the rain came down. Naturally, she wanted the name of the app. <\/p>\n Dark Sky is a paid app, but you can get the same information on any computer at the Forcast.io<\/a> \u2013 their web version. One thing I love about this app is the "Time Machine" option. It lets you see what the weather was any day in the past. <\/p>\n Here's what the weather was on this day in 1971. Go ahead and look up your birthday, anniversary or this date last year.<\/em><\/p>\n Do you have an Amazon Gift Certificate to use? Or do you need to buy one for a gift?
