Texas weather changes fast. When it turns dangerous, you shouldn't have to dig through five websites to find out whether it's headed your way.
StormAlertWire puts the whole state on one screen. Every active watch, warning and advisory from the National Weather Service is drawn on a live map of all 254 Texas counties. You can search your city, county or ZIP code and see exactly which alerts cover that spot, read the official instructions word for word, and hear the NOAA Weather Radio broadcast for your area.
The site is built for the moment you actually need it: a siren going off, a sky turning green, a creek rising across the road. It loads fast on a phone, and the most important information is on the first screen.
What we show
- Official NWS watches, warnings and advisories for Texas, refreshed every two minutes
- NEXRAD radar, current conditions from NWS weather stations, and local NWS forecasts
- Active wildfire incidents from the National Interagency Fire Center
- Severe storm and tropical outlooks from NOAA's Storm Prediction Center and National Hurricane Center
- NOAA Weather Radio streams for Texas, matched to your ZIP code
How we handle data
- Alert text is shown exactly as the National Weather Service issued it. We don't rewrite warnings or add our own forecasts.
- Every alert links back to its official source.
- If a data feed is down or out of date, the site says so. The status indicator at the top shows when each source was last updated.
- A map with no alerts doesn't mean you're safe. It only means no official alert is in effect right now.
What we're not
StormAlertWire is an independent website. We're not the National Weather Service, a government agency or an official alerting authority, and alerts can reach this site late. For your safety, keep Wireless Emergency Alerts on your phone turned on, keep a NOAA Weather Radio at home, and follow instructions from local officials. In an emergency, call 911.
