severe weather alerts

Dangerous conditions notifications

Severe weather alerts are official warnings issued by meteorological agencies about dangerous atmospheric conditions—tornadoes, hurricanes, flash floods, blizzards, or extreme heat.

These range from watches (conditions favor severe weather) to warnings (severe weather is imminent or occurring).

Check your phone for severe weather alerts before heading out.
