Weather Notifications via Pushover

Submitted by wd5m on Thu, 2026-05-28 11:08

Weather notifications are available from our Weather Message Server by way of the Pushover App. Notifications are available for the geographic areas that are based on the Council of Government (COG) Regions.

You can use either the Pushover phone 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 via the link buttons below.

What notifications will you be receiving?

the short- and long-term period (today and the next 5-7 days).

Winter Weather Notifications – includes watches, warnings, and advisories issued for Blizzards, Blowing Snow, Freezing Rain, Heavy Snow, Ice Storms, Lake Effect Snow, Lake Effect Blowing Snow, Sleet, Snow, Snow and Blowing Snow, Wind Chill, Winter Storm, and Winter Weather.
