The forecast you’re viewing is driven solely on computer-model data. There is no meteorologist overseeing the information that you rely on to make your plans.
Here’s the thing: Models are guidance, not gospel.
Ever notice how the forecast on the stock weather app changes a lot? Models flip-flop all the time with the timing of important weather features. That could mean large changes in the temperature or the probability of precipitation in the forecast.
The Pinpoint Weather App on the other hand is updated completely by the team of meteorologists at News 6. You can rest assured that there is a detailed thought process behind the numbers you see on your screen.
In addition to a more accurate forecast, there is also a short but detailed breakdown of the weather so you know exactly what to expect.
In times of inconvenient, impactful or dangerous weather, the Pinpoint Weather Team will provide live, real-time video updates. If you elect to receive push alerts, you’ll know exactly when the team is live.
There are many other features to the Pinpoint Weather App such as interactive radar and PinIt, where you can easily share your weather photos to News 6 and the Pinpoint Weather Team right from your phone.
In just a few simple steps you could be on your way to a more accurate forecast.
