Motorola Inc. and Digital Cyclone have announced the availability of a weather radar application for Java technology-enabled mobile phones from Motorola.

Digital Cyclone’s Mobile My-Cast weather application uses a network of high-resolution weather models and personalized radar imagery to help weather-sensitive businesses make better decisions. Users can receive current conditions, a nine-hour or seven-day forecast, and notifications regarding severe weather for their specific locations on their Motorola mobile handsets.
