Description
Chief meteorologist Tom Terry and WFTV Channel 9’s team of certified meteorologists have produced the most accurate, local weather technology available with the WFTV Channel 9 Weather App.

By using the app’s built-in interactive radar, you can zoom down to your neighborhood, including Brevard, Flagler, Lake, Marion, Orange, Osceola, Polk, Seminole, Sumter and Volusia counties, or zoom out to check radar anywhere in the country. Location based storm alerts will direct you to the latest severe weather warnings.

Ratings and Reviews
Florida’s Centerpiece
One-thousand miles north of Central Florida the weather pattern is substantially different. After 35 years of living in Central Florida, I can testify you need to be aware of the weather.
Florida is the lightning capital of the world and can be most vulnerable during hurricane season.
Even so, Central Florida (as I like to think of it) is like when a bowling ball first strikes the number one pin on a bowling alley.
The noise of pins flying through the air sticking each other, sounds exactly like the East coast ocean breezes crashing full force with the West coast breezes causing violent thunderstorms. And, it all happens right here over Central Florida.
This is why I have the Weather app from Central Florida’s news leader WFTV on my iPhone. One ‘click’ and you become aware of your surroundings instantly.
Thanks to Tom Terry, and the Channel 9 weather team, I confidently rate WFTV weather app with the highest rating of five stars.

Best Ever
The WF TV, channel 9 weather app is absolutely the best weather app out there. I’ve looked for a better one and can’t find any that give better coverage to the local and regional weather conditions and projections. This app can show you the weather radar for almost anywhere in the country and it also can show general weather conditions, temperatures, etc. I would recommend this app to anyone who wants to keep in track with the weather locally or across the country with friends and relatives.
Millennial All Grownup
I have been watching Channel 9 since Marla Weech and Danny Trainor days! I couldn’t even IMAGINE watching another news crew! The app for weather is my new best friend! This summer was easily planned because of the interactive weather radar. Planning days ahead, just as easy. I am so grateful to be in Central Florida where I have what I feel is my very own personal news team! Thank you Channel 9. From a loyal viewer of 30+ years, Courtney D!
