WSOC-TV Weather

Get hyperlocal weather forecasts with WSOC-TV Weather, the Charlotte-area app designed by Chief Meteorologist John Ahrens and Severe Weather Center 9 to deliver the most accurate local weather intelligence available. Unlike national weather apps, this app puts local meteorologists in charge of your forecast every single day.

Access the highest-resolution radar technology on the market. The app features 250-meter resolution radar—the finest available—with an integrated future radar function that predicts storm paths and provides outlook information before severe weather arrives. Toggle between neighborhood-level detail and nationwide views instantly. Earthquake and storm tracks appear as radar layers, allowing you to monitor storm speed, direction, type, and earthquake magnitude all in one view. Simply tap the storm symbols icon to see the complete tracking list.

Receive alerts that actually matter to you. Push notifications are completely free for more than 25 alert types, from tornado warnings to winter storm watches and tropical system alerts. The critical difference: this app delivers location-based alerts precise enough to warn you about dangerous threats in your specific area, not broad county-wide notifications that often miss the mark or trigger false alarms. You get warnings calibrated to real danger, not generic alerts.

Customize your experience with pinpoint location control. Place location pins exactly where you need them—a specific address, your workplace, a friend's home, or any position on the map. Name each saved location however you prefer, then instantly access current conditions, hourly forecasts, and daily forecasts for any spot you've saved. The app works identically on phones and tablets, so your weather setup stays consistent across devices.

Navigate the home screen intuitively by scrolling through a single tab that consolidates most features and information you need daily. High-resolution satellite imagery shows cloud patterns with clarity, while integrated GPS keeps your current location automatically updated. Seasonal features and tools refresh throughout the year to match changing weather patterns and threats.
