I dont have cable. Also I prefer to get it straight from the NWS.Local TV broadcast?
Just any RSS app?The National Weather Service offers RSS feeds that can alert a cellphone of any weather alerts for a specific area. A person would have to install an RSS feed app. on their phone.
I believe so however the app. may have to state that it specifically supports RSS/Atom feeds. I'm installing the "Aggregator | RSS News Reader" for Android currently to give it a try. I use the RSS method of receiving alerts on my desktop computer via Microsoft Outlook and it works great. Some alerts (such as tornado or severe thunderstorm watches) are received up to five minutes sooner via RSS than via the weather radio.Just any RSS app?
I rather have it on my desktop if I could, I use the FEMA App for mobile alerts.I believe so. I use the RSS method of receiving alerts on my desktop computer via Microsoft Outlook and it works great. Some alerts (such as tornado or severe thunderstorm watches) are received up to five minutes sooner via RSS than via the weather radio.
Also, for some reason, I stopped using the "zone list" and only use the link provided under the "county list". I'm not sure if the zone list links did not function properly or whether they were providing duplicate alerts of the county link however I only use the country link to populate the RSS feed.Oh ok. Thanks!
Depending upon your version of Outlook, there are two groups of settings for RSS feeds as well. One group of settings may be under the "File" tab and then "Account Settings".Oh ok. Thanks!
Thanks Ill check it out. Thinking this RSS Feed will work for now since I can use it with my email client.I use a desktop app called Wx Warning, developed by N3FJP & available at www.wxspots.com. It's free (with ads at the bottom of the screen) or for a one-time fee you can ditch the ads and free up a little screen space. It is configurable to alert for as many counties/states as you want alerts for, and the alerts hit my desktop within +/- 2 seconds of when they hit the Weather Channel on cable, the Weather Channel app, the FEMA app, my local TV station's weather app, or the NOAA weather radio. (Yes, I have all of those, and no, I do not work for the Department of Redundancy Department.)
I uncheck the box to follow the publisher's limit (as shown in the above 1.jpg image) and then under "Send/Receive Groups" I set the update frequency based upon my requirements. Currently, there is no severe weather in my area so I have severe weather updates set to update every 15 minutes. When severe weather is in my area, I will change it to once every 5 minutes at times.Oh Ok. What do you have your check for new message set to? Mine defaults to 100 mins.
In your guys opinion, what would be the 2nd best way to receive NWS alerts. I use a Midland weather radio as a primary way. I would like to have a reliable backup in-case the local NWR station goes down.
Thanks in advance
