Severe Weather Alerts
Push notifications for every NWS warning — tornado, flood, severe thunderstorm, ice, winter. Delivered while the app is closed.
Tornado alerts →Real-time NWS severe weather alerts, USGS river gauge monitoring, and your own emergency scanner feeds — pushed to your phone in under five minutes, even when it's locked.
Preview only — for reference, not actual current conditions.
A live ops console for your phone. Push notifications fire even when locked — no app needs to be open.
When a storm rolls in, the last thing you need is to open one app for NWS warnings, another for the river gauge, and a browser tab for the radar — plus a separate site to find a working police or fire scanner stream. StormCast pulls every signal that actually matters — severe weather, flood stages, radar, fire weather, AQI — into one console, and lets you paste in your own scanner stream URLs so they live in the same player. Less tab-hopping. Faster decisions. One source of truth on the screen you already carry.
An honest comparison against the apps you might already have on your phone.

Comparison reflects publicly available app features as of May 2026. Built-in weather varies by device manufacturer. StormCast is in active development — some features may behave differently in your environment.
Every sensor stream that matters, one app. Built for people who need to know about severe weather before it arrives — not after.

Live temperature and conditions one swipe away — no need to open the app. The tile updates automatically and taps straight into StormCast.
Weather alerts fire with a distinctive two-chirp tone — not a generic ding. You'll know it's a real warning before you even look at your phone.
A safety tool is only useful if you know what it is and what it isn't. Four things we want to be clear about.
When the cell network is down or the power's out, a battery-powered NOAA Weather Radio is still the most reliable line. StormCast complements that — it doesn't replace it.
Every alert, watch, and forecast comes straight from the National Weather Service and its partner agencies. We don't run our own models or claim to know anything the NWS doesn't.
No third-party tracking, no behavioral analytics, no marketing lists. Your email and saved locations exist only to deliver the alerts you signed up for. Any advertising shown will never use your personal data for targeting.
Push notifications depend on your phone, your carrier, OS battery settings, and Google's Firebase service. In a real emergency, never rely on any single source — not us, not anyone. Always have a backup.
StormCast does the monitoring so your phone doesn't have to. All data is checked and filtered on our servers — your device is only contacted when something relevant happens.
StormCast is currently in closed testing on Google Play. Sign up with your email and we'll notify you the moment it's available to download — no APK needed.
