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.

How well can the network see Home?
The nearest Doppler radar is KGRR (Grand Rapids, MI), 46 miles to the SW. A WSR-88D's lowest routine scan sits half a degree above horizontal, and the earth curves away beneath it, so by the time that beam reaches Home its center is about 3,100 ft above ground. That is comfortably inside the useful range. The lowest scan passes low enough over Home to show rotation in the part of a storm where tornadoes actually form.
The closest instrument actually measuring the air is KAMN · Alma/Gratiot Communi on the ASOS/AWOS network, 19 miles away. Far enough that "current conditions" for Home is an educated reading of somewhere else, worth knowing before you plan around a single temperature.
Beam height is the standard 4/3-earth approximation for the 0.5° scan and assumes normal refraction; it is where the center of the beam is, not its edges, and unusual temperature profiles bend it. Radar siting from the NWS WSR-88D network, station positions from the Michigan observing network as of this build.
