Tornado warning frustration

You sent out a tornado warning, during our hurricane, went on your site and had to listen to a 90 second real estate commercial before I could get information. That not cool!

How I start my day

I know Andrew and his cohorts will be there via the app nbc12…etc. so I can plan my day re: what to expect drive time (should I GET A MOVE ON and leave earlier than usual?) and just as important: WHAT TO WEAR? Hot/cold/stormy? I’m so grateful for their tips.

Love the Alerts

I feel very safe in knowing what the days weather will be and love the alerts informing of any significant weather changes going on. Thank you for keeping me and loved ones about weather updates and conditions!

A very helpful tool

I appreciate having this resource. It keeps me posted on what’s happening with the weather and I check it each time it comes up.

12 on your side

Channel 12 news they are the best the weather always accurate, and I wouldn’t choose any other give them 12 thumbs up

My Radar map is having issues…

This app has worked great until recently. Whenever I open the radar screen, if there is precipitation in the area, it “flashes” the image instead of displaying it on the map. Have I done something unintentionally to the setup?

This is my 1st stop of the day!

The weather decides so much each day. I depend on Andrew, Meagan & Jim to keep me in the know! Everything from what to wear to if I should mow my lawn today or tomorrow. They’re reliable, professional but relatable. I always appreciate Andrew throwing in a tidbit about how the days weather will affect your plants, animals, work, or recess or bus stop conditions for the kids. Thanks to all of you at channel 12 for helping me plan each day!! 😊☀️☔️☃️🍁

Radar is wildly inaccurate

I’ve use this app for years and like the weather videos they post, as well as the functionality of the app. However, in recent times the radar is just wildly inaccurate. Completely different from other radar systems and just shockingly wrong. As an example, right now the NBC12 app is showing a huge storm cell over our head, yet outside, looking up, not a cloud in the sky, other radar systems are showing nothing in the vicinity within 100 miles. I just can’t rely on this app for radar as I need an accurate system for boating and other outdoor pursuits.

Fair Weather App

My main issue with the weather app is that the radar doesn’t work when there’s an actual event happening. Doesn’t matter the phone, I’ve seen it on several. I’ll try opening it to see what’s going on and the precipitation blinks on the map. I end up closing it and checking another local station’s.

Thank you for showing us the ‘current weather’ conditions unlike other stations who show an hour or more of what ‘was’ not ‘now’. You also have available the continuous active radar which is so important during storm conditions.
