Chief Meteorologist Jon Porter demonstrates how WinterCast, available on the free AccuWeather app, helps you stay ahead of incoming snow and cold weather wherever you live during the winter.
00:00As we've been talking about here on the AccuWeather Network, plenty of cold and opportunities for snow in the coming days across parts of the central and eastern United States.
00:14We have many tools to help you to make the best decisions and stay safer in any weather patterns on the free AccuWeather app, which is a download that you can access by opening up your camera and scanning the QR code on the screen.
00:27That'll bring you to a spot to download the free AccuWeather app. Let's go over to New York City, New York on the top here today.
00:32But of course, you can type in any location around the country, around the world on the top of the AccuWeather app and get the latest local AccuWeather forecast with proven superior accuracy.
00:42I want to highlight the snow symbol here in New York City up on the top.
00:47We're forecasting the first accumulating snow of the season in the New York City area here this weekend, one to three inches.
00:56In fact, this is AccuWeather's WinterCast, which is a great tool to help you track any opportunities for snow and ice in your community.
01:03We show you how much snow or ice accumulation is expected, when the snow or ice will start, when it will end, very helpful for best planning, show you our interactive radar, and of course, the ability to look at our exclusive snow amount, snowfall amount probability, which shows you the risk for a little bit more, a little bit less snow.
01:21You can also scroll through the hourly snowfall accumulations here and look at how the snow totals up during a particular storm as well.
01:30And then down on the bottom, when you go to hourly, you can plot many different parameters hour by hour.
01:36Of course, the temperature and the AccuWeather real fuel temperature, which is excellent for best understanding how it's going to feel outside, how the air feels.
01:44And then going over to snow, you can plot the risk for snow.
01:47I'm going to go all the way out here toward the weekend so you can look at the risk for snow in any particular hour and how much will fall.
