I've never saw a weather reporting site that is as in accurate as this one. Not only did I trust it to drive two hours to my job, after about 20 minutes into my drive, I was caught in the absolute worse torrential rain that I can remember. Traffic on I94 between Johnson Creek and Milwaukee was at a crawl with many vehicles setting under over passes. AccuWeather stated 30% chance of rain. 30% is a very low number. Not only was my job rained out I was stuck in Pewaukee WI for an additional hour waiting out the storm. Pewaukee is about an hour from where I live. All told, I wasted 20 dollars in gas and 4 hours of driving in extremely dangerous driving conditions. Never again will I use this app. It also sucked my battery dry on my phone multiple times. I couldn't figure out how my battery was dying on my drive to a little north of Milwaukee from Janesville WI. I changed my settings on my phone and it would tell me that AccuWeather app was emitting multiple errors. My phone settings put the app asleep until I had time to delete it. Junk weather forecast and extremely heavy ads. I only look at AccuWeather to see how wrong they are compared to other weather apps I use. I looked up the reviews tonight to warn others to avoid this site at all costs. Junk, Junk, Junk. It's telling me that there's a 67% chance of rain in my work areas tomorrow when in fact the local weather is saying a 100%. I won't be going to work tomorrow

Forcasts seem to be fairly accurate. But OMG the adds are ridiculous. I get it, its a free app...
