DETROIT – One of my favorite things to do is check the weather radar. I find myself doing it obsessively.
Not in a bad way, but enough that my family and friends know this about me and routinely ask me to do it for them -- “Hey, Dave, what’s the radar showing?” How about downloading this app yourselves?!

I kid, I kid. I am more than happy to be that guy, because:
- I want to know when the rain is coming and how much to expect so I can tell my friend to clear his basement. 🌧️🌧️
- I want to know if there is lightning in an approaching storm and how many strikes are happening nearby so I can tell my kids to get inside. 🌩️🌩️
- I also want the detailed forecast for the next several hours or days so I know how to plan ahead appropriately. ⛅ 🗓️
