I've given this app enough 2nd chances. Totally inaccurate most of the time. Says its raining when the sun is shining, and vice versa. Radar shows rain in "x" amount of hours, doesn't rain. Don't depend on it. In fact, don't bother downloading it. Giving this, & the AccuWeather app the boot. Both are trash. 11-7-23 update: app says it's sunny. Looks very overcast to me. App is still trash. 8-18-24: Gave it another shot. Still trash. App continues to be totally inaccurate.
