About JackWeather

JackWeather is a real-time United States weather alert platform built to keep people informed and safe when hazardous conditions develop. We pull live watches, warnings, and advisories directly from the National Weather Service (NWS) and combine them with JackWeather-managed alerts issued by our team of trained meteorologists and administrators. Whether it is a tornado warning, flash flood, dense fog, or a severe thunderstorm, JackWeather surfaces the alerts that matter for every US state and county the moment they are published.

The platform is designed for everyone who needs reliable, up-to-the-minute weather information — from families planning their day and storm chasers tracking severe outbreaks, to emergency managers, first responders, and local officials responsible for community safety. Logged-in users can personalize their experience by choosing the states and counties they care about, opting into SMS and email notifications, and subscribing to JackWeather+ for an ad-free, premium alert experience. Our Storm Prediction Center visualizes risk areas, and JackWeather NOW delivers live broadcast updates during active weather events so you never miss a critical development.

JackWeather is built and maintained by an independent weather-technology team focused on making official government weather data more accessible, timely, and actionable. We are committed to accuracy, transparency, and user privacy — our alerts come straight from the NWS, and your personal preferences stay under your control.
