Hello, all. A question. Do any of you know of an accessible weather app for the iPhone? Something that would issue watches, warnings, and other such alerts for severe weather in your area? Living in Iowa where storms and tornados can be commin, this would be quite useful. Thanks for whatever answers you can give.

there's a program, think it's called weather alerts that does a great job of this. i've been using it and it's been pretty much right when ever something comes my direction from thunderstorms to wind storms to just a frost advisory. don't remember how much it is or anything though.

Weather Radio is what all the Coasties out here use, because you can place different types of alerts. It will alert via a radio broadcast and then you can read the info as well.
And I have found it to be accessible, meaning it doesn't just say that blasted 'button button button' all over, you can slide your finger around and get the info.
It's about $10 but I happened to get it one day when it was free for that day.

I use Weather radio over here and it does well with alerts.
