SEVERE WEATHER ALERTING – WHERE IT MATTERS, WHEN IT MATTERS.

 The Alabama SAF-T-Net® app alerts you to impending weather danger at locations like home, work or your kids’ school, so you can protect your family by knowing what’s coming—up to 15 minutes before the storm hits. It’s also a great year-round weather app, compete with current conditions, forecasts and an easy-to-use weather map with radar, satellite imagery and more. 

Choose to receive any or all of these alert types:  
 • Special Baron alerts for dangerous storms approaching, as well as “twisting” storms that may cause tornadoes 
• National Weather Service storm-based warnings for tornadoes, severe thunderstorms and flash floods
 Features:
 • Integrated weather alerts with Baron Tornado Index (BTI) rankings for up to four locations, including your current location
 • Current and forecast conditions based on city, zip code or your current location
 • Nationwide radar, satellite imagery, temperature and more 
• User submission of storm photos to local emergency management offices
 • Interactive weather map with pan and zoom 
• National Hurricane Center (NHC) track forecast cones
 • 3 and 7-day forecasts in both quick view and detailed formats

So I’m removing the app and just use another that WILL. In short your excessive heat warnings are EXCESSIVELY EXCESSIVE with an EXCESSIVE index of EXCESSIVELY MORE EXCESSIVE. ### 5/5 — A must have for severe weather *2022-11-29* This app is accurate nearly down to seconds. I turned on local and hyper local alerts and I receive notifications of incoming severe weather that are ridiculously accurate. 5/5 stars 10x over ### 1/5 — Bring back the old hourly forecast UI *2022-07-30* I am not a fan of the table layout for the hourly outlook in this latest release. Bring back the old UI. It was much better and easier to visialize ### 5/5 — Great update *2022-05-14* Love the new data that is provided and the ability to swipe through all of the pages, plus oft keeps it on the same screen if you change locations. Only thing it needs is a dark mode. ### 1/5 — Does not work well on iphone *2022-02-11* This app does not reflect what the current and forecasts in temperature as it’s stays hung up on 29 degrees and never changes. I have another weather app that shows its 36 degrees and this one shows 29 degrees from same area. Makes it kind of difficult to know if the weather forecast is accurate and if it can be trusted during severe weather. ### 1/5 — Not so good *2021-03-18* Friend highly recommended, however my version does not seem to work as well as his. Cannot delete locations, not impressed with menu options, not what I was hoping it would be ### 2/5 — Locations *2020-04-30* Why can’t locations be deleted??? I add a location when I travel and then want to delete when I get back from a trip - don’t want to use location services - so now so I have all these different locations that I don’t need and cannot remove 😡 ### 1/5 — Nope *2020-04-13* This used to be a decent app, but they ruined it. If you download this app, you will get redundant alerts for things that you told it you didn’t even want to be alerted about. This is only useful if you like to be woken up every few hours because there is a little thunder 15 miles away. The one time I was under a tornado warning (the only alert I set it up for) it didn’t even provide the alert until 10 minutes after the warning was over. Horrible worthless app. Danger to public safety. ### 1/5 — App *2020-02-02* I love the app but since update it will not open up any more. Is there something I can do to make it open? ### 4/5 — Great app *2019-08-29* Love the app! I use it before other weather apps I have. The radar loads a little slow but no slower than on other apps. ## Frequently asked questions about Alabama SAF ### What does the Alabama SAF-T-Net app do?
