Finally, Capital Weather has an app!
The Capital Weather mobile app, available on iOS and Android, brings together trusted forecasts and updates from our team of meteorologists with the convenience and functionality of modern weather tools.
Yes, we’ve got the standard automated features like hourly and 10-day forecast data for any location, live radar and weather alerts — which are great for quick checks during relatively quiet weather and can also signal when more active weather may be on the way.
But we also know those same tools can struggle when the weather matters most — ahead of and during thunderstorms, severe weather, flooding, winter storms and other rapidly evolving situations where context and communication of uncertainty become especially important.
By combining easy access to our team’s latest detailed forecasts and breaking updates with intuitive weather tools, we hope you’ll make the Capital Weather app your everyday go-to source for weather in the D.C. area and beyond.
Here are a few tips for making the most of the app:
- Enable location access to always see weather conditions where you are
- Heading outside? The current temperature and conditions are always at the top of the home screen
- Keep scrolling to explore additional weather news, features and explainers from our team
- Turn on notifications to receive significant forecast updates and breaking weather alerts directly from Capital Weather meteorologists, along with optional automated alerts for precipitation, lightning and National Weather Service warnings for your location
