Tools To Monitor Severe Winter Weather

For those of you living on the East Coast, you may find that your weekend is going to be filled with some fairly significant severe weather. Now you could simply stand outside in the middle of it to witness the weather as it unfolds, or instead you could use some of the tools that WeatherBug provides.

In this example video I put together fairly quickly, you’ll be able to see three very different options available to weather enthusiasts.

width="320" height="240">

In the past, we have been fairly extensive covering the various mobile options for monitoring the weather with WeatheBug. In the above video however, I wanted to highlight three lesser talked about solutions.

  • WeatherBug Streamer
  • WeatherBug free edition for Windows
  • WeatherBug.com

WeatherBug Streamer: In the first option, you see WeatherBug Streamer. This is a professional level tool, often used by energy traders and other pros who need to see the weather, as it’s happening. It also allows users to do their own forecasting as it were, by utilizing animations, tracking lightening strikes, among a variety of other fantastic features.

WeatherBug for Windows: The free ad supported option for Windows users, provides a much simpler to understand interface. While lacking the advanced options seen in Streamer, it does provide its users with real time alerts and ongoing weather forecasts.

WeatherBug.com: Never forget about the main website. Available from any browser on any platform, WeatherBug.com is a great resource for monitoring severe weather as it unfolds.

The Backyard community

Get in on the action with other weather enthusiasts over at the WeatherBug Backyard Community. Best of all, regular contributors to the community are given access to the sought after WeatherBug Streamer tool. As you can see from the above video, streamer has the ability to triangulate weather events in real time, as they happen from a maps perspective. It’s something you really have to experience to fully appreciate. So join us at the WeatherBug Backyard Community, we are always looking for new enthusiasts!

Going Mobile With The WeatherBug Mobile Website

There should be an image here!By now, most of you are likely aware that WeatherBug provides a large number of mobile applications for the latest smart phones out there. The iPhone, Android, Pre, BlackBerry, Windows Mobile, and Nokia - all included. But what about for those who are not looking to install software directly? Perhaps you are merely borrowing someone’s phone for a quick update - what then?

Enter Mobile WeatherBug. Using any modern mobile browser, you can browse over to m.weatherbug.com and instantly be plugged into a fantastic Mobile WeatherBug site that will give you all of the localized weather data you could ever hope for.

Location

Just enter your desired location into the box and you’ll receive a screen that looks a lot like this below.

results

From here, we can utilize the provided green pull down menu to select radar choices, a detailed forecast, in addition to other WeatherBug features.

forecast

The full list of Mobile WeatherBug features includes:

  • Current conditions
  • Forecast
  • Detailed Forecast
  • Hourly Forecast
  • Radar and Maps (including WeatherBug’s own real-time lightening map)
  • Severe Weather
  • Weather News
  • Weather imagery
  • Weather cams
  • Preferences and settings - set Mobile WeatherBug as if it was locally installed

This is a fantastic product. No installation, works from all of the popular smart phones, provides much of the functionality that you would expected from a mobile weather application.

One final thought to note is that if you are a Backyard WeatherBug contributor, you can all of your weather data from M.WeatherBug.com .

WeatherBug and WeatherBug Elite for Windows Mobile

There should be an image here!For sometime now, WeatherBug has been receiving questions asking when the next update to the Windows Mobile application was to come about. Well recently WeatherBug released both a free and paid edition to the WeatherBug for Windows Mobile family.

More Informative Groups

Now that we've moved our weather groups to their own little tab and made them easier to access, we knew we had to do a little more to soup them up and make them even more appealing to users. So we added all sorts of new regional and national weather maps across the groups, added new weather RSS feeds, and really enhanced the information you get from the groups.


So in addition to being fun places to discuss weather in your regional or special interest, they're not chock full
