Live storm warnings that can bring trees down

From the free alerts feed of the National Weather Service at api.weather.gov. We match each warning to our metros by the NWS forecast and county zones that cover each city center.

Our server checks the NWS feed about once an hour and rebuilds the site when the list of active warnings changes. Warnings can start or end between checks, so always follow weather.gov and local officials for the latest.

Only warnings that commonly bring trees and limbs down: tornado, severe thunderstorm, high wind, extreme wind, hurricane, tropical storm, ice storm, winter storm and blizzard warnings. Watches and advisories are not shown.

A watch means conditions could produce the hazard, so be ready. A warning means the hazard is happening or about to happen in your area, so act now. This page shows warnings only.

We track 182 metros, the same ones in our market data, and we match by the zone around each city center. Nearby towns may be under a warning that is not shown here. Check weather.gov for your exact address.

Nothing outside. Stay indoors and away from windows that face large trees. Trees and limbs can wait; your safety cannot.

After the warning ends and officials say it is safe. Stay back from any tree touching a line and call your utility. Do not run a chainsaw on storm-loaded wood; call a licensed, insured pro.

It depends on your city. Some cities have emergency rules for hazard trees, others still want notice or photos. See our city tree permit pages and call the city to be sure. Short explanation, not legal advice.

No. Lirevon does not do tree work and does not list or rank tree companies. To find local pros, search Google Maps and read their reviews, then get two or three written quotes.

It shows where tree-damaging warnings are active right now, so you can plan crews and get your phones ready. Storm weeks bring a rush of calls; our services help you answer and follow up on every one.
