Weather Notifications via ntfy app
Submitted by wd5m on Thu, 2025-01-16 15:53Weather notifications are available from our Weather Message Server by way of the ntfy App. Notifications are available for the entire FWD County Warning Area (CWA) or geographic areas that are based on the Council of Government (COG) Regions. The COG areas are for those who are not interested in receiving every notification in the entire CWA.
You can use either the ntfy app or a web browser to receive notifications. The app is available from both the Apple Store and the Google Play Store. Both the app and web browser versions are configured by subscribing to a topic. Note: Topic names are case sensitive
