Yahoo Weather for iOS Adds Breaking Rain or Snow Alerts for Canada and Beyond

Yahoo Weather for iOS has now gained worldwide breaking weather alerts for rain and snow. The company says 15 minutes prior to rain or now, users will get a push notification to their phone.

The company says they “took some major steps to overhaul the way we determine and serve forecasts. The app will even zoom in on microclimates.”
