Yahoo is today updating its Yahoo Weather app for iOS with near-term rain and snow alerts (not that we needed a reminder that summer is nearly over). With the updated app, users will receive alerts for rain and snow 15 minutes before an expected downpour.
In addition to the new weather alerts, Yahoo notes that the app is now more accurate with improvements made to the methods it uses to “determine and serve forecasts.” As an example, Yahoo says the app will now “even zoom in on microclimates.”
The updated Yahoo Weather app with rain and snow alerts, version 1.8, is available for iPhone and iPad on the App Store now.
What’s New in Version 1.8
Introducing new weather alerts around the world!
Yahoo Weather, our beautiful and intuitive weather app, will alert you 15 minutes before rain or snow is expected so you can grab your jacket, boots and umbrella!

Great app until they stuck ads on it. Since that happened I deleted it.
No free lunch.
I agree. Way too many ads. I know they have to have them to make the app free. I just wish they would offer a way for me to pay for a pro version so they could be removed. I would happily pay for them to be gone. Until then…the search continues.
Switched to Beweather 2. One-time payment but no ads. Also has ad version.
