I check it before I leave the dock, and check it periodically while on the water if there is a possibility of a summer storm. I can usually watch the storm cells floating across NH and have a very good idea of where they are tracking.

Check it out:

I don't know if they make an equivalent iPhone app.


This one is unique in that it does ONE thing very well, Weather RADAR. Yes, I know there are other weather apps out there, but this one is outstanding IMHO for this purpose. Oh, did I say it's FREE!
That's a good one, Rich. My son has it on his Galaxy. The best one I've found fore the iphone is "WeatherBug" The same thing, it has really good live radar plus a thing called "Spark" which tells you in seconds how near the closest lightning is to your location. I've relied on that many times at the lake.
