Survey reveals this is everyone's favorite weather app, by far

One of the staple apps ever since smartphones came into existence are weather apps. While weather apps have existed for decades, user preferences have changed over the years. The weather apps that we once loved have shuttered, and their place has been taken by newer competitors with their own advantages. In our quest to find the current best weather app, we asked you what weather app you prefer on your phone, and the answer has been overwhelmingly in Pixel Weather's favor.
With over 47% of the votes, the Pixel Weather app was the crowd favorite by a wide margin. This result is even more surprising because Pixel Weather is a Pixel-exclusive app, so you can't use it on any other Android phone without jumping through a bunch of hoops. Still, the app works well enough to hook all Pixel users in and provide them with everything they need, so they don't have to look for alternatives.

Fast-moving landspout southeast of Denver metro area damages 7 businesses' roofs, Franktown Fire Department says

A "fast-moving" landspout that formed southeast of the Denver metro area damaged at least seven businesses Monday afternoon. No one has been reported injured, but photos from the area show significant damage to at least some of those businesses' roofs. The Franktown Fire Department said around 3 p.m. that the landspout formed near the intersection of Highways 83 and 86. Both the fire department and the Douglas County Sheriff's Office characterized the landspout as "fast-moving," and the sheriff's office is asking people to avoid the area while crews work to assess the damage, help clean up, and keep people in the area safe. The National Weather Service in Boulder issued an alert about the weather around 2:40 p.m., saying hail was also possible. That alert was extended to the towns of Bennett and Strasburg soon after. A landspout is similar to a tornado, but forms from the ground up, instead of from the sky down to the ground. Franktown is about 35 miles southeast of Denver.

Isolated storms could be strong to severe

Spotty downpours and storms look to form during the morning along coastal portions of the area before drifting inland Sunday afternoon. As storms track farther east through the early afternoon, there is a low-end, level 1//5 risk for severe weather in far eastern portions of Polk county and most of Highlands county. This is driven by the risk of wind gusts higher than 58 mph within some strong cells. Small, melting hail is also possible. Highs still run slightly warmer than average Sunday in the low 90s. Expect a mix of clouds and sun to be left behind once the rain clears. Rain chances increase significantly with a 70% chance of rain and storms Monday. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc.

As Tallahassee endures heat wave, Hurricane Center monitors Invest 93L Florida rainmaker

The National Hurricane Center is monitoring a broad area of low pressure off Florida's east coast that could strengthen into a tropical system as it moves west across the northern Gulf. The disturbance, which was classified as Invest 93L on Monday afternoon, has a 30% chance of development over the next seven days and a 20% shot at development in just two days, according to the Hurricane Center in Miami. It's expected to enter the northeast Gulf by July 15. Regardless of development, heavy rain could produce localized flash flooding across portions of Florida and the north-central Gulf coast through the middle to later portions of this week. 'Environmental conditions appear favorable and some gradual development of the system is possible while it moves westward to west-northwestward across the northeastern and north central portions of the Gulf during the middle to latter part of the week,' the Hurricane Center said. Meanwhile, a heat advisory was issued July 14 for portions of the Big Bend and Florida Panhandle, including Leon County. High temperatures are expected to hit the mid to upper 90s July 14 and 15, with the heat index topping out around 106. Earlier, forecasters believed temps that feel like 100 degrees or above could continue through Saturday. But the tropical uncertainty and rain could dampen those highs. Leon County announced that the LeRoy Collins Main Public Library downtown will serve as a relief center from the heat 11 a.m. to 8 p.m. July 14. "As a relief center, the downtown Main Library offers air conditioning, seating, water and restroom access, as well as the usual library activities and materials," the county said in a news release. The low pressure system will tamp down temperatures and increase rain chances by July 16, according to the National Weather Service. Highs will drop to the upper 80s to low 90s while rain chances will increase to 90%. Regardless of development, the low pressure system could bring heavy rain and localized flash flooding over parts of Florida and the north central Gulf. Wright Dobbs, meteorologist with NWS Tallahassee, said the system is expected to hug the coastline as it moves anywhere from the northeastern to the central or western Gulf, perhaps near Louisiana. 'Development, if it occurs, at least for now, looks gradual,' Dobbs said. 'And the system is moving west so it might run out of real estate.' Dobbs said the system is expected to bring hotter conditions as it approaches the Tallahassee area and the possibility of heavy rain once it passes from its eastern side. "It's just a reminder that we are in the middle of tropical season," Dobbs said. "It's always a good idea to have your hurricane preparedness kits ready."
