Description
Everything you need, nothing you don't. Florida Storms is not just another weather app with a radar. It's a clean and fast interactive map that alerts you to every storm, while at the same time delivers credible real- time audio and text alerts from the Florida Public Radio Emergency Network. Using a combination of Baron's exclusive storm track algorithms and the expertise of a meteorologist, you're certain to receive the most up- to- date information on any potential weather hazard.
View the latest tropical weather updates from the National Hurricane Center, find out if you’re in an evacuation zone, check if you're in the path of a dangerous storm surge, or just review a checklist of items your family should have in case of a weather emergency. Once you have Florida Storms, you won't need multiple apps to prepare for the next "big one". Whether it's just a routine lightning storm that might send you indoors, or a major hurricane threatening your neighborhood, Florida Storms is the simplest and fastest way to stay informed of mother nature's next move.

It is the best app I've used for crazy FL weather. The rain selection is quite useful. Temperatures are accurate. I can track hurricanes in summer. I wish it included time & tide information. Other weather apps try & charge you more once you start using them. Florida Storms doesn't play those games. This is affiliated with NPR Public Radio. 'Nuf said.

Like the app. I live in NY and use Florida Storms when rain and bad weather is coming! I only this app.
★★★★☆Austin Sims· Jan 28, 2023
It's a nice app, one of the few that seems to completely line up with NOAA/NWS forecasts or draws from their data, while having future 24 hour radar available, not to mention multiple NEXRAD stations in the state plus national hi-res. The only thing I could recommend is that tapping on the widget takes you directly to current conditions. WUCF FM not on streaming station list. One thing, at 8:30 at night current conditions page shows a sun icon

This has been a great app, and was excellent even when it first came out. It is still the best radar app in Florida and has up-to-date emergency (hurricane) info. To those who have problems with this app crashing. I have also had this happen 2 or 3 times in years of use. However, that problem is worse at this writing. In the past it has been resolved by deleting the app and reinstalling it. I hope an update will be issued soon.
★★★★★Paul Stark· Jun 6, 2021
There have been more than a few times that I've seen a flash of lightening, then gotten an alert from the app about lightening in the area, and then heard the thunder. Great app for radar views and watch/warning alerts.

This was our favorite weather app. We depend on it at work! But with the latest update it won't even open! It just keeps crashing! So disappointing!
★★☆☆☆A Google user· Sep 13, 2020
BADLY IN NEED OF AN UPDATE! Great concept. Most info cells do not work at all. Maps do nothing; not possible to track hurricanes with this app. *might* be useful for local links if evacuated, but doubtful in current condition. PLEASE FIX!

Trash, wouldn't even load. Everything was blank after even ten minutes. The storm won't even be here until tomorrow
★☆☆☆☆Sean Green· Jun 20, 2023
Worked great for a day or two, now it does little more than display a splash page. Uninstall /Reinstall does not resolve the issue. I'm glad I was not relying on this app for a real emergency.
