5 active winter warnings

Sorted by urgency

Emergencies first, then NWS’s own order: tsunamis, tornadoes on the ground, tornadoes indicated by radar, extreme winds, destructive and severe thunderstorms, flash floods, and on down to red flag warnings; within each, the one that ends soonest.

This link names a warning in a form no warning has, so there is nothing to select.

About this data

Not an official warning service. Warnings and watches are drawn from the National Weather Service, and discussions, outlooks and reports from its Storm Prediction Center (Data: NOAA/NWS, NOAA/SPC). When a warning is issued for you, act on it — and use weather.gov or a NOAA Weather Radio for where you are.

Radar: NOAA MRMS mosaic via nowCOAST, drawn live with no last-good copy: an empty radar means we cannot see, not that the sky is clear. Warnings and watches: NOAA/NWS. Discussions, outlook and reports: NOAA/SPC. The maps are ours; the warnings are theirs.
