About WSBTV Channel 2 Weather
Chief Meteorologist Glenn Burns and Severe Weather Team 2 have made the most accurate local weather app, “The WSBTV Weather App,” even better. New in 2015, Atlanta’s most powerful weather app includes the following:
-- Push alerts are FREE for more than 100 weather alerts types including everything from tornado warnings to winter storm warnings, fog, fire, wind and tropical storm alert types. See a complete list inside the alert settings.
-- New map layers are now available to be added to the interactive radar including severe watch and warning layers, the cone of probability for tropical storms, storm reports and more. Tap the layers and settings buttons on radar to see a complete list.
-- Locally crafted forecasts. Select a location inside the Atlanta market to see a local forecast created by WSB’s local weather experts. The app tells you which member of Severe Weather Team 2 crafted the local forecast. National applications that come pre-loaded on your phone don’t have local experts focused solely on getting the local forecast right every day.
-- Place a location pin precisely where you want it for a specific address or any position on a map. When saving a location, just press and hold the pin and then drag it to the exact location you want.
-- A new location switcher in the app header allows you to quickly and easily cycle through all your saved locations and your current location.
-- Both tablet and handset apps now have identical features and similar designs to make the app more intuitive for power users that want to use the The WSBTV Weather App on multiple devices.
-- The new video center gives you quick access to multiple live streams and other timely weather coverage from Channel 2 Action News and Severe Weather Team 2. You can stay up to date as WSB-TV’s local experts track storms and provide minute-by-minute information on specific streets and neighborhoods threatened by a storm.
In addition to these new features, the The WSBTV Weather App still has these critical benefits:
-- The app is constantly updated with the latest area storm and forecast information and includes Severe Weather Team 2’s 5-day Forecast with the “Weekend Always in View.”
-- Live Stormtracker 2HD Radar zooms down to your neighborhood or zooms out to check radar anywhere in the country.
-- It provides Location-Based Storm Alerts. While many other apps offer alerts based on your county, The WSBTV Weather App supports a more precise type of alert issued for the most dangerous types of weather threats. More precision means you get alerts that matter to you, not false alarms.
WSB-TV’s Weather App keeps you in touch with Severe Weather Team 2 using social media including Facebook, Twitter and interactive uploads of your photos and videos directly from your mobile device.
This Weather App focuses on complete North Georgia Weather Coverage.

The WSB app does good at delivering weather and that's about it. The video stream is useless since the video is tiny and no option exists to enable full screen. More recently it doesn't even play video sound but has zero issue delivering sound for ads. Naturally.

Since the update, the app stops working over half the time. Alerts are sent to the phone and when the app opens none are there. I'm uninstalling sadly because I really like your weather reporting, but I can't rely on the app.

Why am I getting a weather alert at 3 FREAKING am on a Thursday morning about potential snow late Fri/early Sat!!!!!!! Was finally getting a good nights rest after being sick for a few days. I could understand if this was a tornado warning it being in the middle of the night but there was no need for this to be sent at 3am. App is being deleted!

My old weather app showed current temp on my phone's home screen. It also showed times of sunrise and sunset in app. Really nice features that I think you should add. Also, why must I register (not gonna do it) for lightning notifications instead of just checking it, like all other choices? Is keeping viewers safe a priority or not? Going back to previous app. Uninstalled.

Why do need to know a person's wifi connections and other devices on wifi? Data mining?
by M####:
Since the new update, the live video feed keeps cutting off (it cuts off when phone goes into power saving mode as it does when u are not using your phone....when playing a video, however, it's suppose to stay active)...therefore I can't watch it if I have to keep clicking on the video over and over again...
