What are automated weather alerts?
Alert Bowie 2.0 allows you to enter multiple addresses and receive severe weather alerts for these locations. So if you live in Bowie, work in DC, and have a son or daughter attending college in North Carolina, you can provide those addresses and receive automated alerts when there is severe weather in those areas.

You choose which alerts you receive (tornado, severe thunderstorm, blizzard, hurricane, high wind warning, etc.) and the time of day you wish to receive them.

To receive these alerts, sign up for the alert category entitled “Severe Weather.”
