--- NOTES ---
RainAware is ONLY for use in the continental United States. RainAware relies on National Weather Service radars and may not work properly if a radar is down or if the beam is blocked by mountains. Extremely light sprinkles or drizzle may not always be detected. Precipitation times will change as RainAware adjusts to rapidly changing weather conditions. Precipitation can form suddenly or dissipate at any time. Works best when precipitation is moving. Times are estimates and have inherent error. Advanced settings are there to mitigate these issues.

What’s New

Location accuracy is bad - UPDATE 2 to 5 stars

I live in Florida and really wanted this program to work. It is everything I wanted, except accurate. It is a full half-mile off from my IPhone compass location, which is extremely accurate. In Florida, a half-mile is the difference between getting drenched in a thunderous downpour and working on your tan. I have been drenched twice by relying on it. If they can fix that problem. I would give it a solid four stars.

Update: After using this program for a couple years, all of my concerns about accuracy have been fixed. I doubt if you can find a better program for the essentials you need to plan around local weather changes. With family spread around the country, I can quickly zoom into their local weather as well.

Beautiful interface

The look and feel of this app is superb, in my opinion. It is clean and free of clutter, while making access to the core information instantaneous.

As to accuracy...well, its a weather forecast, folks. Any meteorologist will admit there is art as well as science in the profession. Im not sure what RainAware uses as its data source(s), but I have found it at least as accurate as NWS, Accuweather, etc. The link to radar imagery allows the user to draw their own conclusions as to the adequacy of the forecast.

RainAware fills a very specific niche, providing ultra short term predictions.

Amazing it not freakishly accurate

This app is great it can tell you when to expect rain and how long it will last as well as the density of the rainfall. I kid you not I was showing it off at a picnic ; it started raining, my spouse asked how long it’s going to rain and check the app. App said 17 minutes. Another guest challenged me how does it know that to the minute? I set timer for 17 minutes. Timer went off and rain stopped. The other person got the app after that.
