One of the main features of the free AccuWeather app is the hyper-localized minute-by-minute precipitation forecast known as MinuteCast®. Jon Porter demonstrates the feature's new redesign.
00:00There are so many tools in the new AccuWeather app, the free AccuWeather app as well, that enable you to make the best decisions and stay safer.
00:12That's what we do here at AccuWeather.
00:14One of those features that we hear from our AccuWeather users time and time again that they love is AccuWeather's exclusive MinuteCast.
00:21And that MinuteCast forecast is minute by minute, it's a minute by minute forecast of when precipitation is going to start and stop at your specific location out to the next four hours.
00:31And we have that prominently displayed here on the today screen on the free AccuWeather app.
00:37And notice you see things like this, rain starting in 16 minutes and we have the dial here to show you how the rain is going to evolve here over the next hour.
00:46And when you tap on C4 hours right there in the middle, that brings you up with more details.
00:52And what you could do here is you could scroll to the right and as you do so you're going further out in time and looking for areas of light rain, moderate rain, heavy rainfall, even thunderstorms.
01:02We'll let you know about that here on the exclusive AccuWeather MinuteCast.
01:06And you can find breaks in the rain, time when there's going to be less rain occurring, might sneak outside briefly so you don't get wet.
01:14You can do that all with the exclusive four hour MinuteCast.
01:17And of course you can do that for any location around the country and around the world on the free AccuWeather app.
01:23So we make it very easy to do that.
01:25And then of course beyond the minute by minute which goes out for the next four hours, you can actually scroll through the hour by hour forecast and also graph out the risks for rain on that product as well.
01:36So you can scroll out in time further and see when the greatest risk time periods are for rainfall.
01:42AccuWeather has been proven to be the most accurate source of weather forecasts and warnings.
01:46Better protect your family and keep them safer.
