WHIO Weather

Live hyperlocal radar and weather alerts for Ohio

WHIO Weather brings the station’s trusted coverage straight to your pocket, with a strong focus on real-time precision for Dayton, Springfield, and the rest of Ohio. Its standout feature is the high-resolution radar, which zooms all the way down to neighborhood level with 250-meter detail. This means you can actually see where the line of storms is in relation to your street, not just your city.

The radar isn’t just a static map, either. Future radar lets you watch the projected path of incoming systems, making it much easier to decide whether you really have time for that errand or outdoor event. Layer options add even more depth: storm tracks show speed, direction, and type of storm, while earthquake data is available for those who like keeping an eye on seismic activity worldwide.

WHIO Weather also shines in the alerts department. You get free push notifications for more than 25 alert types, covering everything from severe thunderstorms and tornadoes to winter storms and tropical systems. The ability to drop a custom location pin and name it—like “Home,” “Work,” or “Grandma’s house”—means you can tailor alerts for the places that matter most.

The interface puts most essentials on a single scrollable home screen, with matching functionality across phones and tablets, so you don’t have to relearn anything when switching devices. It can feel a bit information-dense at first, and, like many free weather tools, you may encounter ads, but the trade-off is a powerful and highly local experience.

For residents of the Miami Valley and wider Ohio region who rely on timely, accurate forecasts, WHIO Weather is a robust companion for staying ahead of changing conditions.
