FOX 4: DFW WAPP - Weather

What it does

FOX 4: DFW WAPP - Weather provides weather forecasts, radar maps, storm tracking and alerts for the Dallas-Fort Worth area and wider North Texas. It is aimed at local residents, commuters and anyone who needs weather information tied to a specific location rather than a general national forecast. The app uses your location to show relevant conditions and forecast information.

Forecasts and radar

You can check current conditions, view a 10-day forecast and follow storms on an interactive radar map. Radar views can loop to show how weather is moving, with map displays that work in portrait or landscape orientation. Forecast videos from the FOX 4 weather team add local explanation alongside the map and numerical forecast data.

Severe weather and travel information

The app is built for the kind of fast-changing weather that can affect North Texas. Weather alerts highlight the severity of conditions, while school and business closing information can help with local planning. A Road Weather Index presents weather conditions in a format intended for drivers, making it easier to judge how rain, storms or other hazards may affect a journey. The app also includes earthquake information and map tools such as compass overlays.
