Where Do You Get Your Weather??

Curious what app or website experienced truckers use for weather??

Thank you!!

First off, your truck's dashboard radio probably has a weather band. Good to listen to when you're driving through sketchy weather. As for an app, I prefer NOAA Weather (Granite Apps) on Android. Written forecast, graphical (lines on a chart) forecast, and animated weather maps continue all the USA.

I use the weather channel app. You can use the radar for many functions. It also gives you a time lapse view of how weather systems will travel & their intensity.

When you switch to radar view, you can click on circled icon for different views like wind speeds.

Many sources. If you're at a truck stop, go in and have a look at one of their TVs.

I use Accuweather on my phone.

I also go to Google and type in where I'm headed (the town name), then check out the 5 day weather forecast for it.

I'm also listening to XM Radio, which has several channels that will tell the real-time traffic reports for several major cities, which sometimes goes hand in hand with the weather.

Mainly, I'm listening to Channel 146, "Road Dog Trucking", and there is a national update every half hour on the weather hotspots around the country.

On my cell, I get automatic texts and alerts for really bad weather warnings-- floods, tornadoes, and blizzards.

I'm also listening to the CB to others that are passing by going the opposite direction about any weather problem they encountered earlier.

Thanks guys!!

I have always been a wunderground fan. Still like it just curious what others use!!

I get a lot of real-time weather radar data in the truck stops. Most of the time, go to where the CBs and TVs are sold, and chances are a TV will be showing the Weather Channel in the display case. Free, useful information.

Incidentally, you can change your Driver Status now, Amber.

Weather apps currently on my phone.

Also get the 511 apps for the states you need.

I thought I had! Will do!!
