Custom Weather Notifications
Create your own weather rules and get notified when conditions match. Temperature thresholds, rain chances, wind speeds, you define what matters.
Build Your Own Rules
Temperature Triggers
Get alerts when temperature rises above or drops below your threshold. Perfect for gardeners and outdoor workers.
Precipitation Alerts
Set thresholds on precipitation chance, rainfall amount, or snowfall amount so the number matters to your plans.
Wind Speed Monitoring
Alert when winds exceed your comfort level. Essential for cyclists, sailors, and drone pilots.
Multiple Locations
Set different rules for different locations. Home, work, and vacation spots can each have custom alerts.
10-20 Custom Rules
Standard subscribers get 10 rules. Pro subscribers get 20. Enough to cover all your weather needs.
You Pick the Time
Each rule checks at a time of day you choose, so a frost warning can land the evening before rather than at dawn.
One Place for Every Notification
Your custom rules live alongside eight other kinds of notification, each with its own page and a summary of what you have turned on, so you can see everything the app will tell you in one screen.

- Weather alerts for your location and up to 10 saved places, free
- SPC severe weather outlooks for Day 1, 2, or 3, at a risk level you set
- Tropical storm news and a warning when your location enters a forecast cone
- Earthquakes nearby and worldwide, each with its own minimum magnitude

Forecasts and routine

- A daily summary at a time you choose, with Standard or Pro
- Sunrise, sunset, and golden hour, with your choice of how long before or after each one to be notified
- Your custom rules, checked at the time of day you set
Frequently Asked Questions
What conditions can I set alerts for?
You can create rules for temperature, feels-like temperature, precipitation chance, precipitation amount, snowfall amount, humidity, wind speed, wind gust, and UV index. Each rule watches one of those values against a threshold you set, and you choose the time of day it checks.
How do custom alerts differ from weather warnings?
NWS weather warnings are issued by the government for dangerous conditions. Custom alerts are personal thresholds you define, like getting notified when temperature drops below freezing or wind exceeds 20 mph.
Can I set location-based alerts?
Yes, you can configure custom alerts for any saved location. Set different thresholds for home, work, or travel destinations.
