From the developers of WeatherBug®
comes the totally refreshed WeatherBug app for Google Chrome. Designed
to be both beautiful and informative, the latest app from WeatherBug
features a new modern design, larger fonts for improved readability, and
a realistic view of current weather with live images from cameras within
the exclusive WeatherBug network. The app’s streamlined, clickable
interface makes it easy to quickly get the real-time local conditions
and severe weather alerts you need to Know Before™ and plan for the
weather ahead.
The redesigned WeatherBug for Google Chrome app is the newest addition
to the WeatherBug app family. WeatherBug apps are available for mobile
phones and tablets on Android,
iOS,
Windows
Phone and the new Windows
8. For computer users, the WeatherBug
website and popular desktop
app provide up-to-the-minute information and alerts.
WeatherBug for Google Chrome provides essential weather updates,
forecasts and severe weather warnings:
-
Neighborhood-level Forecasts: WeatherBug exclusively provides
real-time weather information for where you live and work from
10,000 local stations. And with WeatherBug for Google Chrome, you are
just a click away from detailed real-time weather data -- in addition
to hourly and extended forecast information -- for all your favorite
locations.
-
Weather Warnings: Know Before™ when severe weather threatens.
When minutes matter, WeatherBug delivers alerts from the National
Weather Service (NWS) and Dangerous
Thunderstorm Alerts (DTAs) exclusive to WeatherBug apps. On
average, DTAs provide significantly faster warning times for tornadoes
and similar severe weather events with lightning.
-
Radar and Traffic: Is a storm heading your way? Check the radar
to see what conditions to expect or review the radar animation to see
what’s just past. With another click, see if you’ll have traffic
delays before heading out on the roads. Plus, weather enthusiasts can
select from 10 animated weather images, including temperature, wind
speed, humidity, pressure, satellite views and more.
-
Live Cameras: Know the weather outside without leaving your
home with WeatherBug. The virtual weather window on WeatherBug for
Google Chrome showcases the WeatherBug camera closest to your favorite
location. The app makes it easy to add locations to feature other live
shots from cameras around the country, including beaches and stadiums.
WeatherBug for Google Chrome is powered by the largest weather
monitoring, lightning detection and climate observation networks from
Earth Networks - WeatherBug. This global network provides extensive
weather details and forecasts for over 35,000 locations, including
10,000 neighborhood-level, professional-grade sensors available only to
