Two Storm Heads-Up notifications on a lock screen: a thunderstorm heads-up telling you to cover the patio cushions before 2 AM, and a rain notice suggesting an umbrella and extra time on the road. The Heads-up tab showing current conditions and a nudge card marked four hours away for thunderstorms expected around 2 AM. The hazard list showing thirteen tiles, from tornadoes and ice to fire weather and avalanche, each with a bell you can mute. Animated NOAA radar over Ohio and Michigan in base and composite modes, in-app and full screen. A flood warning opened on the radar map showing the full official National Weather Service text, including what, where, when, and impacts. The Cameras tab showing live FAA weather camera images near Juneau, Alaska and Honolulu, Hawaii. Settings showing notification toggles, lead time choices of four, two, and one hour, and a delivery health panel listing the last successful alert check.

What you get

Instead of drowning you in maps and numbers, Storm Heads-Up watches the forecast for your home and taps you on the shoulder at the right moment.

Heads-up nudges

Pick the hazards you care about and the lead times you want: 4 hours, 2 hours, or 1 hour out. Muting a hazard silences the buzz without hiding the warning.

Official NWS alerts

Watches, warnings, and advisories for your area with the full official text, timing, and instructions. Warnings always come through, even for muted hazards.

Severe weather outlook

NOAA Storm Prediction Center risk for today, tomorrow, and the day after, with tornado, wind, and hail odds when a day turns active.

Live radar

Animated NOAA radar with official warning areas drawn on the map. Tap a warning to read the full alert right there.

Forecast

Hour by hour and day by day, straight from weather.gov, with a quiet 6 AM morning brief if you want one.

Weather cameras

Nearby FAA weather cams for a real look at the sky, including the fog, snow, and low cloud that radar simply cannot see.

Honest by design

A weather app should tell you when it does not know something.

Important: not an official warning system

Storm Heads-Up is a convenience tool that surfaces National Weather Service (NWS/NOAA) forecasts and alerts with friendly, timed heads-up notifications. It is not an official warning system. Data and notifications can be delayed, interrupted, or wrong, whether by network conditions, your device's battery and background restrictions, or upstream outages.

Never rely on this app for life-safety decisions. Always follow official warnings from the National Weather Service, NOAA Weather Radio, Wireless Emergency Alerts, and your local emergency management.
