The latest update to The Weather Channel app for Android brings a new forecast feature for those who like to run or walk.  The new GoRun forecast gives you current conditions as well as conditions later on in the day or the next day so you can plan your walk or run accordingly.  The forecast gives you a 1-10 scale with 10 being the best time to run based on the weather forecast that includes precipitation, humidity and air quality.  This new forecast is found by scrolling down to the bottom of the main forecast display on the app, just below the radar section.

The Weather Channel app for Android has received another major makeover in the latest update, bringing a clean and more material design look to the popular weather app.  The updated version is build 6.0.0 for those keeping score at home and it has rolled out to the Google Play Store.  In the new user experience, information is far easier to get to as it is now a simple swipe up and down in the app to get information about current conditions, what you can expect for the day and forecasts.  Radar images have seemingly improved dramatically as well in this update as they are far less jittery than in previous builds.  If there is a weather advisory in your area and you have signed up with the service, the Weather Channel app can send you a notification and it will be highlighted in the app itself when you first open it.  Tap that banner and you can get more information about that weather event.
