Description

From the listing uploaded by “appupdater”.

This is the official app from Space City Weather, the hyperlocal Houston weather site from Eric Berger and Matt Lanza. The SCW app brings to your mobile device everything from the site, and more, including: - Daily weather forecasts, weather topic discussions and detailed coverage of major weather events - Current conditions put the stats Houstonians care about most front and center. - Hourly and 7-day forecasts with rain chances - Live National Weather Service (NWS) radar, weather discussions and alerts - Conditions and forecasts for 12 locations in the Greater Houston area: Houston, Hobby Airport, Conroe, Galveston, Katy, Tomball, Beaumont, League City, Sugar Land, Lake Jackson, Baytown, and Pearland - Notifications of new blog posts and urgent weather news - Support for Metric and Imperial systems (Fahrenheit/MPH and Celsius/KPH) - Clean, simple design for easy browsing and quick loading - Our usual nerdy humor What the SCW app does NOT have: Ads and tracking. We respect your privacy.
