If you cannot find your preferred
city on our menu, you can select any city that is located within the same county that you
reside in currently. If you are unable to select a city nearby, that is also located
within the same county, then please select a full state warning feed. The exceptions for
this would be the states of Arizona, California, Virginia, Utah, New Hampshire and
Colorado. If you are unable to locate your exact city in our menu for these states, please
select the full state feed, which is listed and located within each states city
menu.
There are approximately 19,000 cities
and unfortunately, only about 2000 NWS observation stations in the United States, which
leaves most cities without a centrally located observation station. Most Internet weather
service providers mask this fact by stretching a feed to cover areas that do not have
observation stations, sometimes even to distances that render the feed ineffective. We
believe that feeds should not be stretched beyond 20 miles.
You can discover more about how our
system works by visiting our blog and reading the prominent links on the sidebar. We
strongly advise everyone to supplement their city feed with their state feed, even if you
have successfully located your city or a suitable location nearby. |
