The designated application provides meteorological information specific to the broadcast area served by KTBS 3. It delivers current conditions, forecasts, and severe weather alerts relevant to that geographic region. The purpose is to keep area residents informed about developing weather patterns and potential hazards.
Access to localized meteorological data through this application facilitates informed decision-making regarding daily activities, travel plans, and preparedness for inclement weather. The real-time updates and alerts contribute to public safety by providing timely warnings of potential threats like thunderstorms, flash floods, or extreme temperatures. Prior to widespread adoption of mobile applications, such information was primarily disseminated through traditional broadcast media.
