Stay safe from flooding
Introducing the new rainfall alerts

rain alerts

Exciting news for our Weather & Radar USA app users: rainfall alerts are now active!

We're thrilled to announce that our app now offers rainfall alerts for users in the United States. Our new feature is designed to help keep you and your loved ones safe and informed during periods of threatening rain.

Rainfall alerts are a critical tool for staying safe from flooding. They provide timely information about potential rain and flooding events in your area, giving you time to prepare and take necessary precautions. With our new rainfall alerts, you'll receive notifications when there is potentially dangerous flooding in your area.

To ensure you receive the most accurate and reliable rainfall alerts, we utilize a state-of-the-art approach combining data from global models and the National Weather Service. Our alerts are then quality controlled by our team of meteorologists to bridge the gap between technology and expert analysis to provide you with the highest quality product possible.

While rain can be beneficial, some events can escalate quickly into dangerous floods, posing a significant risk. That's why we've developed a four-level rainfall alert system that gauges each event's intensity and potential threat level.

Alert levelsImpacts
Level 1: Isolated, minor flooding possible
Level 2: Scattered, locally moderate flooding possible.
Level 3: Widespread, locally significant flooding likely
Level 4: Widespread, dangerous flooding expected.

Our app goes beyond just providing rainfall alerts. In addition to our rainfall alerts, we provide additional weather alerts for strong thunderstorms, tornadoes, hurricanes, and impactful winter weather. Our interactive WeatherRadar lets you track weather systems in real-time, up to four days in advance, allowing you to plan your schedule and stay prepared for whatever the weather may bring.

To start enjoying the benefits of our weather alerts, make sure to turn them on in your app settings. We've created a detailed explainer that shows you the step-by-step process, so you can easily configure your alerts and stay informed about the weather conditions that matter most to you.

We're committed to providing you with the best possible weather experience, and we hope you'll take advantage of these powerful new tools.
