Formed in the Caribbean and has since gained in strength. For those of you who are worried about the projected path of the hurricane, then you will want to use The Weather Channel App, as it is one of the best on the App Store thanks to its tracker feature.

The app can draw from the experience of 200 or so meteorologists, offering updated details on not only Irene but also all other storms and hurricanes to hit the Atlantic. The app, which is available for all iOS devices offers a future forecast of where these weather systems are heading, which allows you to plan ahead.

When using the app for everyday weather reports it not only gives you 15-minute forecasts but also Push Notifications as well. In order for you not to see ads you will need to purchase the paid version – although the fee is nominal. This is a small price to pay when the weather plays such an important part of your day.

When there is the threat that Hurricane Irene could be headed towards you or a loved one it is much better to know in advance. We know that there are numerous weather reports throughout the day, but these are no good if you are not in front of your TV. With apps like The Weather Channel you will have instant access while on the go.

Some of the main features include: interactive maps, video of breaking news, upload and view photos and videos, hourly and 10-day forecasts, and the ability to upload your local weather to your Facebook wall. More details on this app can be found on iTunes; you will be pleased to know that it was last updated on August 15th.

There are a number of more expensive apps available, but why pay more for something that does the same thing?

The great thing about Hurricane Tracker is that there is also a version for the Apple iPad as well. Now you can stay up-to-date and fully informed with the latest tracking of not just tropical storm Alex, but also other hurricanes as well – considering we are now in the hurricane season.

Some of the features include Latest 5-day Tracking map, Forecast Advisories, Public Advisories and Storm Discussions. Satellite videos that appear on the app are on a loop, but offers images on the Gulf of Mexico, numerous parts of the Atlantic and many more.

The price for Hurricane Tracker is just $0.99, more details can be found on iTunes

Thankfully those with an iPad can now download Hurricane HDicon, and offers much more then the iPhone version does.

The iPad version offers you all the latest hurricane information, more than you will ever need. The app comes with a host of features, such as HD tracking maps that are interactive. You can even look at past hurricane plots from 1851 – ideal if there are none around so you can get information on previous ones.

If there is a current hurricane you can then compare its path to previous storms to see if there is any sort of pattern. Hurricane HDicon allows you to keep track of storms with information gathered by the National Hurricane Center and Central Pacific Hurricane Center.

This app will be useful for those who live in a hurricane hot zone, but also helpful for those who do not live in an area affected by these naturally occurring events. The app costs $3.99, not bad for what you get. Visit iTunes for more information.
