Some of the built-in apps on your iPhone can become so familiar, you often forget they can pull off more than just the basics. Such is the case with Apple's Weather app, which has matured over the years from a simple forecasting app to one that's an essential tool should the weather around you start to turn particularly nasty.
I was reminded of that just last week when my particular corner of California found itself on the receiving end of what's known as an "atmospheric river." This is a fancy meteorological term for "a lot of rain happening nearly continuously," and that can lead to things like mudslides, downed trees and even flooding in some areas.
