A weather app that treats you like a Kansas Citian, not just a dot on the map.
Most weather apps show you what a computer model thinks. KC WeatherNOW shows you what a meteorologist knows.
Built exclusively for Kansas City by a community of developers and weather experts, KC WeatherNOW combines professional forecast expertise with hyperlocal data sources unavailable on any national platform. Every forecast is informed by a meteorologist who actually understands KC weather patterns.
Features
What Matters Today
Plain-language weather summaries written like a broadcast meteorologist — updated three times daily for morning, afternoon, and overnight. Not raw data — actual insight about what the weather means for your day in Kansas City.
Storm Awareness & Alerts
Tap ME to drop your location pin on the radar. The moment you fall inside an active NWS watch or warning, a color-coded banner appears — "You're inside a Tornado Warning." Real push notifications for severe weather and approaching storm cells, personalized to your location. One simple on/off toggle. No duplicate alerts.
Aches & Pains Barometric Pressure
24-hour observed and 5-day forecast pressure chart with plain-language health context for joints, sinuses, and migraines.
Allergy Outlook
The only KC weather app with hospital-verified, plant-specific daily pollen counts from Children's Mercy Hospital's Department of Allergy and Immunology. Includes a trend indicator showing whether pollen is rising or falling.
Push Notifications
Real iOS push alerts for severe weather and approaching storm cells — personalized to your location. Daily morning briefing option delivers that day's forecast to you at 6, 7, or 8am. Alerts when the pollen count reaches high levels
Activity Forecasts
Meteorologist-informed outlooks for golf, fishing, hunting, yard work, and eating outside.
Lightning on the Radar
See real-time lightning strikes overlaid on the radar map. Strikes fade over time so you can track storm movement and intensity at a glance.
Future Radar
3-hour HRRR-powered future radar — see where storms are headed before they arrive.
Interactive Radar
Full-screen NEXRAD radar with real-time updates, storm cell tracking so you know what storms could produce hail or a tornado soon
Severe Weather Alerts
Instant NWS alerts with full-screen emergency overlay when a warning covers your location.
Lake Forecast
Weekend forecast for Table Rock, Lake of the Ozarks, Truman, and Perry lakes — wind, water temperature, and chop indicators for boaters and anglers. Includes solunar peak times for fishing and hunting planning.
Hourly & 10-Day Forecasts
48-hour forecast with larger rows, sunrise and sunset times, and rain chances next to each hour. Full 10-day outlook informed by a meteorologist, not just an algorithm.
KC Sports Weather
Game day weather forecasts for the Royals, Chiefs, Sporting KC, and KC Current — so you know what to wear before you head to the stadium.
Muggy Meter
Because 90° in KC feels nothing like 90° anywhere else.
Current Conditions
Real-time temperature, feels-like, wind speed and direction, barometric pressure, UV index, and precipitation totals — updated continuously.
Share Your Forecast
Snapshot and share current KC conditions as an image directly to social media, messages, or anywhere else.
Not only does this app have all of the typical weather app features, tailored to KC. It also has other fun features like KC Sports that tells you what the weather will be like at the start & finish of the games (Royals, Sporting, Current). Another feature I love is the “Eat Outside Index”. There are many more fun features as well. It’s very well laid out & easy to use.
If you live in KC download this app now!! don’t even think about it!!

Weather apps these days are trash, so incredibly bugged with ads and useless features. Half the time the weather isn’t even accurate! This app is perfect for KC metro residents, my husband and I love the golf specific forecast! The beauty is in the simplicity and ease of use. No fluff. THANK YOU WES!!!!

Wes Peery built the weather app KC has been waiting for. Game day/Golf/lake/allergy forecasts and more. Forecasts I didn't know I needed but now rely on. This has everything you would want in a KC weather app. Plus a link to his weather podcast, which is genuinely a must-listen. And he’s giving it all away for free. Madman. Five stars.
Local Weather Plus!

Wes Perry has created an app that has everything I wanted, plus some other things I didn't know would be so helpful, like the "what matters today" quick forcast, and the "eat outside index."Highly recommend for those who want to know what weather is coming to KC (without all the scary hype).
Get exact rainfall totals for your Home, Work, or Current location. Just tap the Observed Precipitation card to see how much rain has actually fallen, from the last 24 hours to year-to-date.
We also made severe weather alerts and storm arrival alerts more intelligent, notifying you only when necessary
