In addition to the weather apps on our phones and local TV/radio, we also use a portable Midland emergency weather radio [HH54VP].
This model is handy when traveling as it will find your local NOAA broadcast when set to travel mode.Brad & Jeanette

Speaking of weather, I hope everyone avoided the 100+ MPH winds in Colorado this week. News is reporting many overturned Semi trucks but I haven't seen any reports on RVs. Pray everyone is safe! This has been one of biggest concerns with DRV...if wind can blow over an 18 wheeler, then DRV vs. SRV seems to become a non-discussion. In any case, hope all is well!

I check various weather sources that are available before departure. If no cell or wifi, then either local TV or a small weather radio. My favorite web site is windy.com. Very accurate showing wind speed and direction of my trip.

John, you are absolutely correct. This summer got emergency notification on phone for severe weather and possible tornadoes but I had no clue what county in Louisiana I was in. I turned to google maps and wrote “counties” in search bar. It gives you markers of all counties around you, click on a marker and it will give you the county borders.
I use MyRadar, Windy, weather bug and the Red Cross tornado app for notifications.Vivian

I would like to second the Radarscope app for the phone, as well as Windfinder. The wife and I fly stunt kites all over the US, and finding good wind and sunny (no storms) weather makes for excellent kiting. And, since we have been traveling in the RV, we have found that those two apps can show us what the weather is like all along our planned route. We have been trying "Drive Weather" but still rely on the kiting apps for accurate weather views.
