On the heels of their Weather Channel Application for Android, the folks at The Weather Channel Interactive have released the very same App for the iPhone! This new app gives users the ability to personalize maps with weather layers and neighborhood landmarks that are part of their daily life. Very cool, especially if you partake in a lot of activities outdoors. Simply add radar and cloud layers to your map, and check the weather in that area before you leave! Handy!
The Weather Channel Mobile App features patented technology that provides extremely detailed weather, accurate up to 2 kilometers. The technology used combines traditional weather tracking techniques with a whole lot more data from their weather centers to provide unique conditions for more than 1.9 million locations. Insane.

- Location-enabled – Find Me feature plots your exact location for quick, accurate conditions & severe weather alerts.
