About this app

Get the most accurate Jacksonville-area forecast in town with the First Alert Weather App from Action News Jax - WJAX/WFOX. The app features the forecast from your neighborhood, live radar, breaking weather alerts, live streaming video from Chief Meteorologist Mike Buresh and the First Alert weather team.

Summary of Features:
- There is a new radar in the weather app that matches the radar found on other digital platforms and also includes future radar to provide you with a likely path and outlook of storms. The radar has 250 meter resolution, the highest available.
- New tracks - We added earthquakes and storm tracks as layers in the radar. Now you can track the location and magnitude of earthquakes as well for storms the speed, direction and type. Tap the “storm symbols” icon in the radar to see the list.
- Push alerts are FREE for more than 25 alert types including everything from tornado warnings to winter storm warnings and tropical storm alert types.
- Now you can scroll through the home screen to access most of what you need or want on one tab.
- Place a location pin precisely where you want it for a specific address or any position on a map. When saving a location you can name it exactly how you want it.

The weather app also has these critical benefits and features:
- The radar zooms down to your neighborhood or zooms out to check radar anywhere in the country.
- The app provides Location-Based alerts. While many other apps offer alerts based on your county, This app supports a more precise type of alert issued for the most dangerous types of weather threats. More precision means you get alerts that matter to you, not false alarms.
- Current conditions, hourly and daily forecasts for any location you enter.
- High resolution satellite cloud imagery
- Ability to add and save locations

I recently uninstalled this app due to an over abundance of adds obstructing the purpose of having it. After trying six or seven highly rated competitors I came back and again am enjoying the apps rich presentations in reporting the weather. I'm not sure what caused the condition to prompt me to leave, but the condition no longer exists. Happy user!

The worst weather app I've ever used. We are currently under a tornado watch. The notification sent me to a video with a beginning commercial not the actual NWS warning with a link to said video. I NEVER get an even somewhat accurate forecast for my area which is unbelievably in your network (Putnam co) and when I do get a notification on current weather its after the storm has passed. Oh and the notification for each event is the same for the entire viewing area

App has alot of options and settings to customize for your specific needs which is nice but it needs to be more accurate for your specific location. 15% chance of rain turns into 100% in a matter of 30 minutes and 100% chance of rain and you dont get a drop all day. Very inaccurate.
