00:00There are so many tools in the free AccuWeather app to help you to make the best weather impacted decisions and also to optimize your health, safety and comfort.

00:30It's right on the home screen, right when you download the app and open it up. And look at the type of wording here that you see in this example, rain and a thunderstorm starting in 52 minutes. So you get that right on the home screen and you notice this dial gives you the expected rain or snow or ice during the winter over the next 60 minutes. The intensity each minute denoted by the specific color. Green would be light up to oranges and reds for heavier rain. Now if I tap on C4 hours and of course I have our temperature and AccuWeather real feel there.
01:00And if I tap on C4 hours, I could scroll out minute by minute here as I move out the tab on the bottom of the screen and look at when rain is going to arrive and when it will become heavy. The longer bars there denoting the heavier rain.
01:14And then I can find breaks in the rain as well. So people love this tool for any kind of outdoor activity. Playing soccer, baseball, outside with the kids, biking, figuring out times that you can take your dog out for a walk in between breaks in the rain.
01:30And this forecast updates every couple of minutes. So you can check back with it even more frequently than you might check with AccuWeather on other occasions to stay best informed.
01:40So this is another valuable tool in order to help you to make the best plans. AccuWeather has been proven to be the most accurate source of weather forecasts and warnings.
