Want to receive custom severe storm warnings that pinpoint the threat to you? Many counties in the KRCG viewing area are 1,000 square miles or larger. Many times the dangerous storm is often less than 200 square miles. In the past, severe weather warnings were issued for entire counties creating uncertainty as to the exact location of the threat. The National Weather Service now uses a much more precise method to define a warning area called STORM-BASED WARNINGS that reduce the size of a warning area by an average of 75 percent.
StormVision WeatherCall uses this new method to determine a warning area with robust emergency telephone notification. Using computerized GIS mapping, WeatherCall matches the danger area defined by the National Weather Service with your address. If your address is within the danger area of the weather warning, KRCG 13 Chief Meteorologist, Zach Paul will deliver the warning message to the phone numbers you register, and also send you an email if you provide one.
