Earlier this year, WeatherBug and Little League® International teamed up to create the Little League® WeatherBug app for Android (News - Alert) and iOS devices. The app provides real-time weather, forecasts, severe weather alerts, and personalized lightning detection to help you stay safer from severe weather and lightning during outdoor activities - whether it's practice and ballgames, or a day of fun at the beach or the lake.

The app features Spark™ lightning detection, which delivers personalized, minute-by-minute and mile-by-mile lightning strike information to help coaches, managers, and fans Know Before™. Spark uses real-time lightning strike information from our Total Lightning Network to provide color-coded warnings for lightning danger at your device's GPS location and other places - like your favorite cities or the field where the game will be played.

The Little League® WeatherBug app is available as a free download on both oogle Play and the iTunes App Store. Watch the new short video about lightning and weather safety and see the app in action.
