WBTV weather

WBTV weather is the best weather reporting ever.

WBTV Weather application

This is a very disappointing app.
It only gives me 10 seconds and then it locks up.
However,I do use it for current radar information.

Severe Thunderstorms

My favorite is telling you there is a severe thunderstorm and to take cover but then make you watch ads before you can see the affected area. Good times.

Traffic

The newest version is not as good as the one a few months ago. You use to be able to toggle and see traffic anywhere in NC. Now it only covers around Charlotte. Very disappointing. Especially for people who travel around areas other than Charlotte. Please go back to the old traffic maps!
