I MISSED A NEWSCAST, HOW CAN I GET MY FORECAST? This new feature will better help you plan your day, allowing you to adjust as needed when your kids’ school or your place of business issues a delay or closes due to road conditions or other reasons. This will take you directly to the most recently updated list. Simply open the app, along the bottom is a tool bar, ‘Closings’ is the third option from the left. We’ve added the latest list of school and business closings and delays in the WPXI Weather App so you can check the list from wherever you’re located. HOW DO I SEE THE LATEST LIST OF SCHOOL/ BUSINESS CLOSINGS AND DELAYS? With the WPXI Weather App, you are getting a detailed forecast specifically created for this area, not from a meteorologist many states away. Unlike most apps that rely on a computer to just dump weather data on to their app, the Severe Weather Center 11 Team updates the forecast on the WPXI Weather App each day, multiple times a day. ISN’T THE 7-DAY JUST LIKE ANY OTHER WEATHER APP? If your location falls in a county where a watch is issued you WILL get an alert. WATCHES on the other hand are issued for entire counties, not polygons. If your location isn’t in the polygon, the alert will NOT go off. The National Weather Service draws polygons when it issues warnings and advisories. WHY DIDN’T THE WARNING GO OFF ON MY PHONE?Ī special feature on the WPXI Weather App is the ability for the app to notify you ONLY when your GPS or saved locations are in the POLYGON for a warning. You can turn off any notification you don’t want by clicking the check mark. Make sure there is a check by the alerts you want to receive.All watches, warnings and advisories that the National Weather Service issues are available in our app. The WPXI Weather App is unique because it allows you to choose the weather alerts for which you want to receive notifications. DO I HAVE TO BE ALERTED TO EVERYTHING WEATHER RELATED?
