About this app

Everything you need, nothing you don't. Florida Storms is not just another weather app with a radar. It's a clean and fast
interactive map that alerts you to every storm, while at the same time delivers credible real- time audio and text alerts from
the Florida Public Radio Emergency Network. Using a combination of Baron's exclusive storm track algorithms and the
expertise of a meteorologist, you're certain to receive the most up- to- date information on any potential weather hazard.

View the latest tropical weather updates from the National Hurricane Center, find out if you’re in an evacuation zone, check
if you're in the path of a dangerous storm surge, or just review a checklist of items your family should have in case of a
weather emergency. Once you have Florida Storms, you won't need multiple apps to prepare for the next "big one".
Whether it's just a routine lightning storm that might send you indoors, or a major hurricane threatening your neighborhood,
Florida Storms is the simplest and fastest way to stay informed of mother nature's next move.

Ratings and reviews

Just installed. Exactly what I wanted in a weather map. Perfect 👌👍. Leave it just the way it is. I have figured it out in just a few minutes 😊❤️. It is fantastic. Weather at home as well as all around the globe. Wind speed, rain ,temp, humidity. Tropics watch etc. I just got an alert for lightning 15 miles from my house and I just heard the lovely rumbling of thunder. GREAT app. Totally awesome 👍.

It is the best app I've used for crazy FL weather. The rain selection is quite useful. Temperatures are accurate. I can track hurricanes in summer. I wish it included time & tide information. Other weather apps try & charge you more once you start using them. Florida Storms doesn't play those games. This is affiliated with NPR Public Radio. 'Nuf said. I'm using a Samsung Note 10 phone.

This was a GREAT app, except for tolerable signal stability issues. It was my app to turn to as i travelled around the world, I could still listen to my favorite NPR station. Then in mid-2019, an update made it FAR MORE UNSTABLE and cumbersome. Trying to listen to even 5 minutes of news required 3-4 restarts. It was so frustrating, I was forced to give up. PLEASE, bring back the old version of giving us radio and weather with just ONE touch, not the series of hoops that I have to jump thru
