Weather warning app?

Does anyone know of an app to monitor weather & give warnings like the weather radios do. I have a friend who is going to be traveling in tornado country soon.

You really need an app that is location aware. I like MyWeather. You can set up to push warnings for your current location. I am sure there are many more.

Most of them? Weatherbug and Weather Channel, at least, have Alerts from the NWS. I don't know off hand how well they'll get your attention on an alert if you're not already looking at the program. But hey, they're both freeware so it costs nothing to try them.

I have this one:

Weather Alert USA. It is very nice. You can set up many different alerts for any zip code or use your current location. It has alerts for tornadoes, thunderstorms, earthquakes, evacuations and many more.

The sound for "high alert" is the same sound that comes across tvs and radios.

Imap weather looks very good for this function.

+1 on Weather Alert USA. I use it and like it. You can also get weather radio broadcasts from it.

Thanks to all for the input on weather warning apps.
