What we ingest

Alert geometries, severity, urgency and certainty fields, plus the SAME and NWS event codes, the issuing sender and office name, scope, language, and the upstream alert link.

Where this feed reaches

A region on this list means we fetch it. It is not a promise of station density: a listed region can still have sparse or no reporting sites near a given airport. Where a feed does not reach a region at all, this page says so instead of showing an empty panel.

  • Continental United States
  • Alaska
  • Hawaii
  • Puerto Rico and the US Virgin Islands
  • Guam and the Northern Mariana Islands
  • American Samoa
