Description

The in-depth meteorological reasoning and details behind your local weather forecast, straight from the experts at NOAA/NWS. Deep Weather grew out of a desire to provide easy access to some of the most high-quality and high-value, detailed weather sources that are usually overlooked by other weather apps. While many weather sources will tell you the general gist of what the weather is expected to do, Deep Weather provides the deep, detailed meteorological reasoning behind that forecast, along with the various factors that are likely to influence it, as well as potentially change where the forecast goes. Deep Weather respects your privacy. Deep Weather doesn't track or store your location information, or any other data about you. (See privacy disclosure below). Deep Weather also doesn't display ads, but rather relies on optional Pro subscriptions from our loyal users to pay the bills. Weather details not commonly found in other apps in a convenient, easy-to-read package. Provides a deeper understanding of your weather forecast. Deep Weather automatically compiles an easy-to-read version of the most recent National Weather Service Area Forecast Discussion, advisories and warnings for your location. The National Weather Service Area Forecast Discussions provide detailed information and background about the weather patterns and observations that are part of the most recent forecast model. They represent the "Story behind the weather story," a glimpse behind the scenes of your current forecast, and provide lots of weather forecast detail not found anywhere else. Included sections: Aviation Weather Fire Weather Climatology Marine Weather Beach Forecast Watches, Warnings Short Term Forecast Long Term Forecast To help provide a more visual picture, Deep Weather also provides easy access to a curated list of the most up-to-date weather graphics: National Forecast Chart, Surface Analysis, IR Satellite, Current Radar, Pacific and Atlantic Ocean surface analysis, 500mb graphical forecasts and more. In addition, Deep Weather provides localized 7-day extended forecasts from the National Weather Service for any location in the United States and its territories. Deep Weather provides great value in helping you anticipate and adjust to changes in the weather that you might not have been aware of if limited to other weather sources. By understanding the factors and assumptions that are part of the official forecast and how changes in those factors could affect the outcome, you are armed with a much deeper and more flexible understanding of the weather around you. This is highly valuable in aviation, sailing, long distance hiking and any other outdoor endeavor where changes in the weather can have great impact. Use the map view to select any National Weather Service Forecast Office and receive the latest forecast discussion for that area. The discussion is broken up into sections for you, and the text itself formatted in a much more easily read format than the raw original. These discussions and weather graphics are amended and updated several times per day, so you can follow how the weather forecast is changing in real time, as well as gain a deeper understanding of the thought that goes into forming the forecast.

  • Best weather app out there

    Love that you can see the reasoning behind a forecast, in as much or as little detail as you like.
  • Ideal for volatile weather locations

    Living in Oklahoma, we can have all four seasons in one week. Living in a mobile home makes OK tornado season even scarier. I especially like how there is a permanent section for watches/warnings. I can quickly verify if there is one or NONE, which helps with my peace of mind. I also appreciate the in depth Short Term descriptions because it explains what might happen and why. This is exactly what I was looking for in a weather app. I just wish there was a widget (for quicker watch/warn double checking).
  • Unethical reselling

    This app simply re-sells everything provided at taxpayer expense from the US National Weather Service. This app is literally just regurgitating the text from the NWS website. The NWS is prohibited by law from making their own weather app, so we can all get fleeced by people like this app developer and the politicians like the CEO of accuweather who got appointed to be the director of the Dept of Commerce. You are a bad person for doing unethical reselling and you should feel bad.
  • Technical Weather Forecast without the jargon

    I am a weather geek with a physics degree. I understand the weaknesses and failure of weather apps that boil weather forecasts into a single digit or a range of probabilities. The Deep Weather app is unique. It boils all the technical information into a simple, easy to understand narrative that is spot on. In the past as we’ve travelled during the winter in the American West I’ve used the NWS twitter posts to understand the trends in upcoming weather. From now on I will check Deep Weather first before tackling the technical forecasts.
  • No-Frills Weather

    I really like this app, but I think an even better name for it would be “No Frills Weather”, because I think it’s a niche product that would be most appealing to the kind of people who prefer more bare-bones, no-frills things.
  • Good but annoying

    I like the idea of this app. The use of text instead of graphics is refreshing, and the Extended Forecast screen tells me what I need for the area I search for. Unfortunately it constantly displays messages about location being turned off, often two at a time, layered on top of each other, and clicking the X on one of them sometimes fails to dismiss it. If all those location messages could be turned off this would be a nice app.
  • The Best Weather App. Period.

    Scroll down to the bottom and opt to read all the information on one page. You get a detailed, accurate analysis of what is, and what is to come. Spot on. No hyperbole.
  • Have to pay to see Columbus forecast

    Can only see Wilmington. Deleteing this app.
  • Area restrictions

    By NON-LUDDITE, but LOGICAL USER
    Weather is restricted to areas where they have “pins”. Trying to get city specific weather, or weather is very unlikely.
  • Different type of weather app

    The forecasts are text rather than graphics. Now that I’m used to it I like it. There are maps but no radar. And NO ads.
