Best Houston weather

Literally the best source of weather info out there for Houston

Too many glitches (they’re fixed)

In late 2023, the app was full of glitches and the expert advice was not downloading properly. Fast forward to now, and the glitches have been fixed! The weather info has always been amazing and now the app reaches its full potential. For the most accurate professional weather forecasting in SE Texas that informs you about possibilities and things without all the fear mongering and hype, this is your app!

Weather forecasting is sub par and the witty banter is annoying

2024 has not been good to these guys. They called late Feb as the last chance for 40’s - which proved wrong half a dozen times afterwards. Then they said the MS 150 weather would be mild and not windy. Then I have to sift thru their banter and opining on how terrible Houston weather is to get to an actual forecast. Guys, you are not Jimmy Fallon or James Colbert. Stick to just the weather and I’ll pay attention again.

My favorite weather app but…

I love using this app and I love the reports done on the weather. Unfortunately, no matter how many times I update the app or my phone, the app shuts down as soon as I tap the most recent story. Just have to stick to the webpage

Too many glitches

The app consistently has glitches pop up with the current one freezing (no pun intended) the temperature on December 27. I uninstalled and reinstalled after it was stuck on December 13 so it’s apparently a wider issue. The one thing it is good for, Matt’s predictions and summaries, is up to date but those can be easily found on his website. I hope the glitches are fixed soon!

Home page glitch

Front home page is stuck on weather on Aug 4

Ghost of Summer Past

I had to delete the app and reinstall to get rid of the forecast still showing highs of 104° and 105° in late October, but the articles are the main value.

Review

App keeps crashing for me for whatever reason …..

Great info, buggy app

While the daily posts in the app are great, I have the same issues with the app as others. My weather is stuck on August 4 and if I click on the push notification to open app it crashes. If those 2 things could ever get fixed this would be a 10 star app.

App needs work.

I read the commentary every day and it is the best forecast in Houston. The rest of the app has some broken links regarding date and daily forecasts . Right now the temp is 72 and the says 82 in one place sunrise at midnight. Then forecastsTuesday at 103 degrees when t He discussion says 80 s.
