3. Chief Meteorologist Glenn Burns and Severe Weather Team 2 have made the most accurate local weather app, “The WSBTV Weather App,” even better. - There is a new radar in the weather app that matches the radar found on other digital platforms and also includes future radar to provide you with a likely path and outlook of storms.
4. While many other apps offer alerts based on your county, The WSBTV Weather App supports a more precise type of alert issued for the most dangerous types of weather threats.

1. It's dangerous and ridiculous, and I'll be switching my default severe weather checks to a different station.Local weather info and alerts are accurate and great.
2. I sent an email to the station asking if this could be added but never got a response.Born and raised in Atlanta that means that channel 2 WSB-TV has been my go-to channel for news and weather as long as I can remember.
3. However, since this update, I have received a notification I cannot clear that reads, "Tracking location for severe weather alerting.
4. As far as I'm concerned the most Dependable information out there comes from this station here in Atlanta! Thanks WSB for being so dependable especially when it comes to following really bad weather.
5. I understand needing ads, but spacing them within the app like, one bit of weather info, one ad, one bit of weather info, one ad... It makes it frustrating and impossible to quickly get the weather info you need.
6. Every page is so busy and cluttered you can barely sort out what is weather info and what isn't.
7. I only use this during severe weather, and recently it's been completely useless for that.
8. I end up using weather bug or channel.
9. And no, Cox Media, it's not the National Weather service it's your WSBTV Weather app.
10. The weather reports are accurate even still.
11. I'm just getting weather reports from six hours ago.
