The RainAware app just came out and it unlike any other weather app (or forecast for that matter).
If it's going to rain (or snow) in the next 3 hours, it estimates what time it will occur...down to within a few minutes. It updates constantly and recalculates 5 minute rain probabilities based on your GPS location.
Old style Forecast: "There is a 30% chance of rain today".
RainAware: "It's going to rain from 4:32 to 5:45, beginning in 29 minutes".
By the time precipitation arrives at your location, it typically starts falling within 3-5 minutes. Same for when it's ending.
It has trouble near mountains because of radar beam blockage, but elsewhere, it does really well!
It even knows the different between light rain vs. a heavy storm, and background images will change depending.
A bit more than some weather apps at $6.99, but less than others. For the price of a value meal, you can stop being surprised by the rain. Sounds like a fair trade to me!
