Severe Weather Alerts

Severe Weather Alerts are notifications issued by meteorological agencies or local authorities to warn the public about imminent or ongoing extreme weather conditions that pose a threat to life, property, or the environment. These alerts are typically associated with specific types of severe weather events such as thunderstorms, hurricanes, tornadoes, flooding, severe winter storms, heatwaves, and other hazardous conditions. The alerts aim to provide timely information so that individuals and communities can take appropriate precautions to ensure safety, such as seeking shelter, evacuating, or preparing for potential impacts. The alerts can vary in severity and urgency, often categorized into levels such as “watch,” “warning,” or “advisory,” to inform the public about the likelihood and expected severity of the weather event.
