About this app

Important note with the 6.0.0 update: With this update, you will need to reenter any saved locations you had in the previous version of the app.

The WRAL Weather App is an incredible multi-function weather station you can access right on your phone. And each forecast is designed and assembled by a team of six full-time WRAL meteorologists who have in-depth knowledge of North Carolina’s weather.

In the WRAL Weather app, you’ll find weather forecasts for Raleigh, Durham, Chapel Hill, and Eastern North Carolina. Check the Raleigh weather this week or check the weather this weekend. Plus, the app can keep up with your current location and give the most accurate real-time forecast.

You can easily stay up to date on the weather by receiving forecast information and updates from the WRAL Severe Weather Center in Raleigh, directly through your phone or tablet. You can also find direct links to the Live Cam section of the website and see what’s happening outside right now near you. Get the latest weather forecast, keep track of the cloud cover and rainfall amounts nearby with your Futurecast, and receive severe weather alerts in your area with your exact location.

Add the new WRAL Weather app widgets to your phone or tablet’s home screen.

Get a quick glance at the current conditions, the 3-day forecast and active alerts for your current location.

You can change the location in the widget from your current location. Go into the app. Tap the search bar at the top of the homescreen. Enter another location and tap the star.

Allow push notifications for the app and you’ll enable critical weather alerts, right when you need them. Then, access the interactive iControl radar map and see where severe weather is headed next.
