With winter out in full force, it's more important than ever to prepare for seasonal weather such as snow and sleet. Here's how MinuteCast®, on the free AccuWeather app, can help you prepare.
00:00It certainly is going to be a cold and sometimes snowy pattern over the next couple of days across parts of the central and eastern United States.
00:12We have many tools in the free AccuWeather app to help you to stay safer and make the best decisions.
00:17One of those features that I hear from our AccuWeather users all the time that they love is AccuWeather's exclusive MinuteCast.
00:23That's minute by minute weather for your specific location out to the next four hours.
00:28And you can find that for any location around the country or around the world on the AccuWeather app.
00:33When you hit the today screen it's front and center.
00:36It's the AccuWeather MinuteCast dial that shows you the next 60 minutes and the intensity of rain or snow delineated along that circle.
00:45So you can easily see that at a glance and see wording here snow for at least 60 minutes.
00:50Now tap where you see that C4 hours and that will allow you to bring up a display that's going to show you minute by minute for the day.
00:57And when you swipe to the left, notice how in this particular example we're moving out from 10 through 11 o'clock and looking for periods of moderate snow.
01:06But then more intense heavy snow here around 1 p.m. so you can make the best plans.
01:12Now this data, this forecast updates at least every five minutes so you can check back in with us often at AccuWeather to make sure you're in the know as you make your plans.
01:20And also want to highlight too that it can be extremely helpful for knowing when the snow is going to end.
01:26I'll show you another example here. Look at this output. Snow ending in 29 minutes.
01:30And when you tap on C4 hours you can see the more specifics about when the snow is going to end.
01:35And of course we have that out plotted hour by hour as well where you can plot many parameters including snow amount and risk for snow.
