Weather Alerts Service

Great for everyone from snow removal services, school districts, and roofers to every-day commuters and those wanting the most accurate information possible! We break down each county even further to the hyper-local level taking into consideration the various micro-climates that produce different conditions within each county. For example: Coastal areas of a county behave different than interior areas of a county. Higher elevations of a county behave differently than lower elevations of a county. We’ll make sure you know exactly what you’re in store for—and that you’re NOT just seeing a single weather symbol representing the forecast for the entire day.
If you’re interested in saving some money we’re running winter specials that cover the entire snow season from now through March 31 (or last snow).
*Weather alerts are only sent to your phone between the hours of 9am and 9pm for real-time storm alerts. We will never bother you or send a text past 9pm unless it is an emergency situation, such as an imminent tornado.
