The
Big Country covers thousands of square miles. Dangerous storms are often
less than 200 square miles. In the past, severe weather warnings were
issued for entire counties creating uncertainty as to exactly where the
threat really is. The National Weather Service now uses a new and much
more precise method to define a warning area called
STORM-BASED WARNINGS that reduces the size of a warning area by an average of 75 percent.
Weather Call combines this new method to determine a warning area with robust emergency telephone notification. Using computerized mapping,
WeatherCall matches
the danger area defined by the National Weather Service with your exact
street address. If your address is within the danger area of the
weather warning,
KRBC Chief Meteorologist Randy Turner will deliver the warning message to the phone numbers you register, and also send you an email if you provide one.
