The [Weather Channel](http://www.engadget.com/tag/WeatherChannel/) has dwelt mostly on its iOS apps as of late, but don't worry -- it's lavishing attention on forecast-minded Android users today. As of version 4.0, the Android app is optimized for tablets and gives a better heads-up for the conditions ahead from your [Nexus 7](http://www.engadget.com/2012/06/28/nexus-7-review/). Other tweaks are more for feature parity, including precisely-timed warnings for significant weather changes, faster radar maps and higher-detail forecasts. Favorites also help with Android-specific widgets. Should you need to know more about the rain or snow than a [Google Now](http://www.engadget.com/2013/02/13/google-now-updated-with-support-for-widgets-added-information-s/) card can deliver, the Weather Channel revamp is ready at the source.
