WNKY Weather

What is it about?

The WNKY News40 Weather App is all you need to completely monitor the weather wherever you go! With just one touch, the WNKY News40 Weather App is ready with current conditions, weather alerts, school closings, detailed forecast blogs, radar and future forecasts. Best of all, the WNKY News40 Weather App is location friendly. It uses your device's GPS signal to "follow" you with local conditions and forecasts for any location. The WNKY News40 Weather App is versatile enough for you to set a "Home" location and a location for "Work" "School" or any destination you want. Right when you open the WNKY News40 Weather App, you will see your current location with local conditions and a three-day forecast. Just below the forecast is a fully-functioning local radar showing the current situation. One press of the radar image will allow you to not only see a current radar loop for the past two hours, but also future radar showing the predicted track of any precipitation coming within the next two hours! In the radar layer settings, you can easily show Hi-Res Radar, 24 Hour Future Radar, Temperatures, Winds, Infrared Satellite, Visible Satellite, Forecast Rainfall Amounts and Forecast Snow Accumulation. Want to know if lightning is near you? Just click on the ENTLN Lightning overlay. The Earth Networks Total Lightning Network has over 1,200 sensors in 40+ countries around the world and is the most extensive and technologically advanced global lightning network. Track storms on your device just as we do during times of inclement weather with the Storm Tracks overlay. If you're headed to the coast, use the Tropical Forecast layer to track Tropical Storms and Hurricanes. When comes to situational awareness, the WNKY News40 Weather App has you covered there, too with the freshest information continually updated from the National Weather Service and its thousands of weather sensors around the world. With the press of a button, see a quick overview, the latest current conditions, including sunrise and sunset times, hourly forecasts for the next 24 hours and beyond, and specific daily forecasts for the next seven days. Need to go deeper into the weather? Check out the WNKY News40 Weather Blog written and produced daily by our own meteorologists. Here you will find an in-depth breakdown of the weather at hand and the forecast to come. In the Weather Blog, you will not only see a video of the weather as seen on WNKY News40, but you will get bonus graphics and information that will help you plan your day and beyond. In addition, the WNKY News40 Weather App features live video of our newscasts and extensive live coverage of severe weather when it happens. And when it comes to school closings and delays, the WNKY News40 Weather App has you covered there, too. You want to send us a weather picture or video? You can do that, too through the UGC (User Generated Content) portal in the WNKY News40 Weather App. Just go to the UGC tab from the main menu, take a picture and upload it to us. It's that simple! This is especially helpful during severe weather coverage that we can show proof of wind damage, flooded roads, snow coverage or just beautiful photos of the weather...all generated by you! Last but not least is the alerts tab. This is where you can set up alerts to ping your device any hour of the day or night to alert you to any weather danger in your path. From Severe Thunderstorms to Tornado Watches and Warnings, Flood products and Winter Weather advisories, you get it all at an instant from the WNKY News40 Weather App. Since the app knows your location, it will automatically notify you of dangerous weather coming your direction and send you a "pop up" message on your device. On your device, go to the WNKY News40 Weather App and turn on sound in your phone's app settings so that you will hear any alerts that come from the National Weather Service 24 hours a day. From start to finish, the WNKY News40 Weather App is weather in the palm of your hand!
