## Description

The WVLT Weather Chrome extension brings WVLT's weather content directly to your browser. It features a 250-meter radar (the highest resolution available), high-resolution satellite imagery, and future radar to track where severe weather is headed. Current conditions update multiple times per hour, and you can add and save your favorite locations. Daily and hourly forecasts are updated hourly from our computer models, and a fully integrated GPS keeps you aware of your current location. Opt-in push alerts help keep you safe in severe weather, and you’ll receive severe weather alerts from the National Weather Service.

Designed for mobile users, the extension includes station content optimized for fast access and reliable local updates. With precise radar, frequent updates, and location-aware alerts, WVLT Weather provides a dependable weather companion right in your Chrome browser.

- Ad-heavy experience with mid-screen videos and autoplay ads.
- Radar reliability issues (blank radar, 12-hour limitation, freezes).
- Too many and/or disruptive notifications cluttering the user experience.
- Cluttered UI with too many screens and confusing navigation.
- Update-related changes (removal of radar overlay, hourly forecast shifted) causing feature loss or confusion.
