I made a weather app just for KC

As a meteorologist who gets asked about the weather all the time, I realized that most local and national weather app are missing important data that people actually want

So I created my own app to fill the gap: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/kc-weathernow/id6760990373

  1. A Real Meteorologist in Your Pocket What Matters Today is written by me three times daily — morning, afternoon, and overnight. Plus a daily morning briefing delivered as a push notification at your chosen time. Not a computer model. A KC meteorologist who actually knows this city's weather.
  2. Storm Awareness Built for You The moment a tornado or severe thunderstorm warning covers your current location, a banner tells you you're inside it. Push alerts go only to people in the storm's path. Tap ME on the radar to see where you are in the storm. See lightning strikes in real time.
  3. Allergy & Health Forecasts Pollen counts sourced directly from Children's Mercy Hospital's actual measured data. Plus an Aches & Pains barometric pressure forecast for joints, sinuses, and migraines. Features that no national app offers.
  4. Golf, Lake & Outdoor Forecasts Detailed golf conditions for when you should schedule a tee time. Yard work forecast to tell you when to mow. Lake forecasts for Table Rock, Lake of the Ozarks, Truman, and Perry, including water temperature and solunar peak times for hunting and fishing. Built for how KC residents actually spend their weekends.
  5. KC Sports Weather Game day forecasts for the Royals, Chiefs, Sporting KC, and KC Current. Know what to wear before you head to the stadium and how the weather may impact the game by helping the baseball soar or field goals bend to the right.
