Recent reviews

Forecast and radar are off. Just today, 6/12/26 been reporting showers in vicinity for 7 hours. nearest rain based on apps radar was 100+ miles away. seems to become less reliable by the week.

nicely laid out and easy to operate. it would be nice if WBTV updated their forecasts more often than every 12 to 16 hours. they very rarely post an up-to-date forecast
