WarnUS displays information on short-term warnings (namely, tornado warnings, severe thunderstorm warnings, and flash flood warnings) in a concise manner. WarnUS can also sound an audible alert when new warnings are issued, and you can choose whether you want to receive alerts nationally or from a specific forecast office. With the proper setting enabled, you can also click on a warning to display the full text if you would like to know more details about that particular warning.
My reasons for creating WarnUS are numerous, so I'll only state the most significant. Something I do on active weather days is monitoring watches and warnings issued across the nation. I did this through use of the National Weather Service's website. However, I often had to manually refresh pages to get the latest warning information. Furthermore, it would have been nice to have some sort of audio or visual cue that a new warning was issued incase my attention was elsewhere. WarnUS automatically checks for new warnings and statements and can sound an audio alert when new warnings and statements are issued.
The script that runs WarnUS was designed to be as efficient as possible to allow for prolonged mobile use. On my own laptop, the operating system suggested (on a full battery) WarnUS could run for as long as 8 to 12 hours before the battery would die. If your battery is running low or the situation is relatively calm, you can set the updating interval to be less frequent (2 to 5 minutes, e.g.). You can also narrow down the warning data to a specific NWS forecast office so there is less data to process.
WarnUS is in compliance with the National Weather Service's Terms Of Use. If you discover a problem with WarnUS or have a suggestion to improve it, please email starship192@yahoo.com
