00:00One of the features that AccuWeather users tell us they love the most is AccuWeather's MinuteCast.
00:09That's minute-by-minute forecast for your specific location.
00:13It's another one of the many exclusive AccuWeather features that are available on the free AccuWeather app.
00:18How you access it? Well, it's very easy on the app when you download the app,
00:22which you can do by scanning your camera with that QR code in the upper right-hand part of the screen.
00:28When you download the free AccuWeather app and open up the dashboard, you're on the main screen.
00:33And AccuWeather's exclusive MinuteCast is located front and center with our dial located right here on the front of the app.
00:40And what that dial shows you is the next 60 minutes.
00:43And where you see a color, that's the intensity of the rain or snow that's expected at that particular location.
00:50And we have descriptions such as rain starting in 24 minutes.
00:54Then if you tap see four hours, you're going to be able to see the next four hours minute-by-minute.
01:00And look at the intensity of the precipitation.
01:02It'll be colored by rain, snow, ice, or a mix.
01:05And then the heavier precipitation shows up with these higher bars.
01:09And you can actually scroll the bottom here and you're able to actually look at the evolution minute-by-minute over the next four hours.
01:16So some rain early on and then later turning less of a risk of rain.
01:22That's extremely helpful for people when they're planning their outdoor activities.
01:25At the Porter House, we use this all the time because my daughter loves to play outside.
01:29So we want to find breaks in the rain or time periods before the rain is going to start.
01:34This is a great tool for biking, hiking, any type of outdoor activities that you love.
01:38Another great tool to help you to make the best decisions.
01:42AccuWeather has been proven to be the most accurate source of weather forecasts and warnings.
01:46Better protect your family and keep them safer.
