Tracking Hurricane Ike? Use Mobile Weather Application

Weather applications aren't new to cell phones, but they have advanced from telling the outside temperature and five-day forecast. From basic weather widgets and applications that report current conditions and daily forecasts to severe weather-tracking devices, mobile applications now enable you to predict the weather way better than the meteorologist on your evening news ever did! To get a widget-like weather report on your Windows Mobile 6.1 phone, look into NRG Weather and NRG miniWeather, courtesy of XDA developers.

If you need a little more oomph in your weather report, or you want to make sure the latest hurricane isn’t destroying your beach house, WeatherBug for mobile phones offers complete hurricane coverage with live feeds and real-time updates. With WeatherBug available on several mobile platforms, you can keep track of the storm even after severe weather has knocked out landlines and caused power outages. Take that, Mother Nature!
