STAY AHEAD OF THE STORM:
Right now would be a wonderful time to download the FREE NC1 Weather App on your Mobile Device or Tablet. A few neat features that we have are the ability to submit photos to us on the fly (bottom right corner of your screen). It’ll automatically tell you when a new advisory for YOUR area has been issued. And the best part is the 7-Day forecast. Why is that the best part you may ask? When you click the 7-Day, it’s OUR forecast that we enter, not just a random data model. It’s been manually looked at, and entered into the app so you get the most accurate forecast information when you need it.
The NC1 Weather Team will be hard at work over the next several hours making sure you, as well as your loved ones, are safe as this system pushes into the Black Hills.
Please keep it tuned to NewsCenter1 On Air, Online, and On your Mobile Devices for the latest information.
