Yahoo has released a new featurein the form of its Weather app.

According to the Engadget, the app will send the users an alert 15 minutes before rain or snow is expected to start so the users have enough time to prepare.

The new feature in the app takes readings from the barometric sensors in users' iOS devices.

Yahoo says its Weather software is more accurate with improvements made to the methods it uses to determine and serve forecasts, with the ability to zoom in on small areas should the need arise.
