NWS Weather Alerts Widget

Get real-time weather alerts from the US National Weather Service with NWS Weather Alerts Widget — a home screen widget designed specifically to display current alerts for your area at a glance.

Unlike typical weather apps that hide alerts behind icons or bury them in notification bars, this widget puts active weather alerts directly on your home screen where you need them most. Simply select your county, state, or monitor the entire US, and watch as the widget automatically displays a scrollable list of all current alerts affecting your chosen region. No clicking through menus. No hunting through notifications. Just clear, immediate access to critical weather information.

Tap any alert to open its full details and understand exactly what weather threat is developing. Whether you're keeping a kitchen tablet displaying live conditions or want quick access from your device's main screen, this widget provides the alert transparency that standard weather apps simply don't offer. The accompanying companion app lets you configure your preferred monitoring area and access raw feed data if you want deeper technical insight into the data being displayed.

Designed with simplicity and functionality in mind, NWS Weather Alerts Widget serves one purpose and does it well — keeping you informed about active weather hazards without unnecessary complexity. The open-source nature of the project means it's continually improved by the community. Future updates are planned to include audible alert notifications, bringing even more capability to this streamlined tool.

Whether you're a weather enthusiast who wants instant visibility into active alerts, a parent monitoring conditions during severe weather season, or someone who simply wants critical weather information displayed prominently on their Android device, this widget delivers real-time NWS data in the clearest possible way. No subscriptions. No hidden features. Just your local weather alerts, right there on your screen, whenever you look.

Note: This widget displays unaltered data obtained from the US National Weather Service and is not endorsed by or affiliated with the NWS. NWS Weather Alerts Widget is open source, and the community is welcome to report issues, suggest features, or contribute to ongoing development.
