AccuWeather Platinum

Weather is unpredictable and if you're planning a cookout or other outdoor activities, AccuWeather Platinum can help you stay on top of what the weather's going to be like. The reason AccuWeather Platinum is my favorite weather app is due to their MinuteCast feature. Just enter your location and it can give you updated weather info down to the minute for your exact location. I've been using it for a long time and it's always right on the money.

For down to the minute weather updates, you need AccuWeather Platinum to help you plan your holiday weekend.
