Weather Service Updates

Posted by Geri Ventura -

February 9, 2009 - An experimental service is now being offered by the National Weather Service referred to as "iNWS" that will email or text message an alert if there are weather hazards in any given area that you choose to be notified about. (You can select multiple areas, and multiple "hazards" to be alerted to.)Keep in mind that if an alert applies to more than one area - for example an incoming storm might have flash flood alerts for Lompoc, Santa Maria and Montecito; all three locations, will generate the same alert. If you have chosen to be notified for all three locations, you will get three alerts. Weather is an ever changing condition so select your alerts carefully, or you could get alerts all night long during inclement weather!

At this time, iNWS is considered an experimental service and there is no guarantee of service availability or customer support.

However, that being said, it is still a great opportunity to test it out!
