WeatherBug manages and operates its own weather network that pin points weather conditions in your neighborhood like no other weather service can! WeatherBug Tracking Stations provide live weather information. Other weather companies' "live" data is often an hour or more old. Along with the National Weather Service alerts, WeatherBug issues additional more localized alerts.
