Overview

Get active US weather alerts from the National Weather Service with the US Weather Alerts Scraper. Choose states (or go nationwide) and export each alert's event type, severity, urgency, affected areas, headline, full description, safety instructions and effective/expiry times — one clean row per alert as JSON, CSV or Excel.

Built for safety and emergency monitoring, logistics and fleet operations, agriculture, insurance and weather dashboards, it turns live severe-weather warnings into structured data you can filter, map and automate.

What it does

⚠️ Live alerts — active warnings, watches, advisories and statements across the US.
🌪️ Event & severity — event type (Tornado Warning, Flood Watch…), severity, urgency and certainty.
📍 Affected areas — the counties/zones each alert covers.
📝 Full text — headline, description and safety instructions.
⏱️ Timing — effective, onset, expiry and end times.
🎛️ Filters — by state and by minimum severity.
📤 Export anywhere — JSON, CSV or Excel, or straight into a dashboard, alerting system or map.
