00:04There are so many features in the free AccuWeather app to help you to stay
00:07safer and make the best weather-informed decisions. One of those features that we
00:11hear from AccuWeather customers all the time that they especially love is
00:16AccuWeather's MinuteCast, and that's a minute-by-minute precipitation forecast
00:19for your exact location, your street address, that goes out the next four
00:23hours. And you can see that front and center here in the AccuWeather app when
00:28you download it, which you could do by scanning the QR code on the screen. You
00:32get the MinuteCast dial front and center there, and that shows you the next 60
00:36minutes and the intensity of any precipitation that's expected here. And
00:40you'd see areas of heavier rain, lighter rain in green, more moderate rains in the
00:46yellows there, but then you tap see next four hours and that's where you get even
00:51more details. And notice the language that we use here in this example, rain
00:55starting in 39 minutes. That's why we call it MinuteCast. It's down to that
00:59minute level precision. And when you swipe to the left here, you're actually going
01:04out further in time. And you have a nice little bar graph here that shows you the
01:08intensity of any rain that's expected going from light to heavier elements. And
01:13you can see the time at the bottom. So people use this oftentimes to find time
01:17when the rain's going to taper off or find some dry breaks. Maybe that's when you want to go
01:22outside with a dog or whatever other outdoor activities you might be doing. And
01:27you can see here breaks in the rain and also time periods when the rain will
01:30become lighter. Now, the other thing about this to remember is that these
01:34forecasts update every couple of minutes. So check back in with this frequently so
01:39you can stay updated with the latest information. And of course, if you're
01:43looking for data beyond the next four hours or forecast beyond the next four
01:46hours, you can plot out the risks for rain hour by hour and tap out any tap on
01:52any hours for more details.
