Local news had a storm threat for Thursday PM this morning in Alexandria. My weather apps on my phone have zero mention. Is it common for the apps to lag so far behind?

I use WeatherBug on my phone... and on looking at the 10 day forecast it has nothing but sunshine on Thursday and Friday

but you open Thursday and that's where you find an 80% chance of rain with thunderstorms after midnight

I use WeatherBug for short term info bc I like their hourly forecast. It’s much more accurate than the more generic Weather Channel app hourly updates. I use the Weather Channel for forecasts 1-2 days out and primarily for the radar.

Both lag behind real time info you will get from meteorologists who analyze conditions and “look ahead” to how those conditions will impact weather. I can’t tell you how many times both apps and radars have shown no rain while it was pouring at my house.
