Do you have your alerts turned on? Don't get caught off guard.

Weather & Radar has you covered. Our top-of-the-line alerting system can help give you peace of mind by offering up to a 36-hour head start on preparations while giving alerting for imminent dangers, too.

We alert for:

  • Thunderstorms: Including tornadoes, wind, and lightning
  • Winter storm conditions: Dangerous ice, heavy snow, and wind
  • Tropical storms and hurricanes: Flooding rain and wind speeds
  • Heavy rain: Rain totals and duration

Keeping notifications turned “on” also allows you to receive important weather information for your current location or even for a specific location you’re keeping an eye on. Are you in New York but have family in Texas? You can receive alerts for their specific location, so you have the latest on their weather situation even thousands of miles away.

Ensure all your device settings are updated to allow alerts too.

When you get the alert, you can keep up with the weather in real-time as it approaches the area on our interactive WeatherRadar. This feature can show you the forecast radar up to 4 days out, so you are always weather-aware!
