Weather reports are notoriously wrong. No one’s escaped grabbing an umbrella only to find clear skies all day, or bringing the jacket on the day temperatures soar to unseasonably warm.

When meeting a potential client, looking prescient on all fronts can matter. Next time you leave for an out of town client meeting, try MyRadar, a mobile app for iPhones or iPads, Windows, and Android-based devices that serves up animated weather displays anywhere in the continental U.S. – a fun diversion for meetings if nothing else. It even pushes alerts if something dark and stormy is brewing.
