Warnings on Weathertap Mobile

January 06th, 2009 | Category: zjnz.com
  • Hey all,

    When chasing, I use Weathertap Mobile on my Blackberry to assess storm development. I am wondering if I can get warnings using this system. I can't find a way to access them via Weathertap Mobile, and I would like to have this ability should my severe wx radio go out of range of a station (which is often).

    If there's an easier way to access warnings via a mobile (alerts won't work since I obviously wander as a chaser), or if I'm simply overlooking the obvious with finding them in Weathertap Mobile, I would appreciate any pushes in the right direction.


  • On WeatherTAP Mobile, click on the Severe Weather link from the main page to get to the Watches/Warnings/Advisories (WWAs) section. If you want to see a graphic display of WWAs, you can click on the WWAs link under the Graphic Data section. If you want to read the text for a given type of WWA, then click on the Advisories link listed under the Text Data section.


  • I'm a BIG fan of My-Cast... It works across the country no matter where you sign up -- http://www.wlns.com/Global/story.asp?S=5005793

    Lightning is a big plus.


    I love MyCast too ... however, on my old Verizon phone, I could not access MyCast in Kansas or Nebraska ... not a really big deal unless you, you know, go storm chasing in Kansas or Nebraska. I got a new phone and actually have internet access on it, so I'm itching to see if I can get MyCast in Kansas or Nebraska now ... anyone wan'a go chasing?


  • You can view them under “Severe Advisories”, but perhaps you are looking for a way to have them automatically “pushed” on your device?


  • If you want watches and warnings pushed via email to you in your home county, Crackuweather will do this for you:

    If you have a blackberry, you'll get the alerts as they happen. If you don't, download emoze (http://www.emoze.com/en/get/index.asp) or emansio (http://www.emansio.com/) to get push email working on a Windows Mobile device.
