Forecasts come from the National Weather Service's own computer models, and current conditions from the nearest reporting weather station. Both are served through the weather API. A forecast is guidance, not a warning, and anything the Weather Service has actually issued is on the live map.
Seven days, hour by hour, with live radar and every National Weather Service alert over the exact spot you pick: 9,158 cities and towns, or any ZIP code, county or pair of coordinates.
No tabs to click through and nothing held back behind a sign-in. The forecast, what it is doing right now, the radar and any live warning all sit on one screen.
Highs, lows, chance and amount of rain, wind and sky cover for each of the next seven days: the week at a glance before you open any of it.
Temperature and chance of rain plotted across the next couple of days, with the wind, humidity and precipitation type behind every hour.
A short-range nowcast at finer detail than the hourly forecast, coloured by how heavy the rain would look on radar. This is the one to read before you go out.
The national NEXRAD mosaic over the place you picked, with warning polygons drawn on top of it, refreshing every minute.
Anything the National Weather Service has issued over that point, most serious first, above the forecast rather than buried under it, because a warning is happening, not predicted.
Current conditions come from the nearest reporting station when one is close enough to speak for the spot, and the page names it. Where none is, it says so instead of quoting a reading from an hour away.
Nothing here is our own guess at the weather. Every panel prints which model or which instrument it is quoting and how old that reading is, including when the honest answer is “no station near enough to tell you”.
The forecast pages exist so the alerting has somewhere to land. If you want to be told the moment something is issued over your house rather than checking a page for it, that is what the live map, the apps and the notifications are for, free, for as many places as a free account allows.

Seven days for highs, lows and chance of rain; hour by hour for the next couple of days; and a separate short-range nowcast at finer detail for the next few hours, which is the one to read if you are deciding whether to go outside now.
The National Weather Service’s own computer models, served through our forecast API. Current conditions come from the nearest reporting weather station where there is one close enough to speak for the spot you asked about; every figure on the page says which of the two it came from.
Alerts and radar on the map refresh every minute. The models behind the forecast run on their own cycles through the day, and each panel prints how old the run it is showing is, so you are never reading a stale number without being told.
Units follow where you are browsing from: °F, mph and inches in the United States, °C, km/h and millimetres elsewhere.
No. WxAlerts republishes National Weather Service and NOAA products and issues no warnings of its own. A forecast here is guidance; anything the Weather Service has actually issued is on the live map, and that is what to act on.
9,158 US cities and towns have a page of their own, each with the same seven-day forecast, nowcast, radar and active alerts. Pick a state, or search above.
