love this app tells me everything I want to know every day!!

Love it!! I wish it was a little more instep with Rob's forecast, but I guess you can't get anything more accurate than that!! I trust the videos more than the numbers here. I think the numbers here are better than TWC! And I like how the forecast travels and changes to wherever I'm at. I would love to see a short (less than 5 mins) clip of the latest forecast from the morning or evening broadcast. There are videos but Chnl 3 weather staff explains the weather so well.
