Plain English

What these alerts mean

A warning means the hazard is happening or about to; a watch means conditions favour it; an advisory is a lesser hazard still worth planning around.

Sustained winds of 35 mph or more with falling or blowing snow reducing visibility to under a quarter mile for three hours or more. Do not travel.

High Wind Warning

Sustained winds of 40 mph or more, or gusts of 58 mph or more, are expected. Secure loose objects and expect downed trees and power lines.

Coastal Flood Watch

Significant coastal flooding is possible. Prepare to protect property near the shore.

High Surf Advisory

Large breaking waves are expected on beaches, with dangerous rip currents. Stay off jetties and out of the water.

Coastal Flood Advisory

Minor coastal flooding is expected, usually around high tide. Expect water on low-lying roads near the shore.

Winter Storm Watch

A significant winter storm is possible. Prepare for hazardous travel and stock up ahead of time.

High Wind Watch

Damaging winds are possible. Secure loose objects ahead of time.

Special Weather Statement

A heads-up about conditions that do not meet warning or advisory criteria but still deserve attention, such as a strong storm, patchy fog or a brief burst of snow.

Questions

About Nome Census Area alerts

How do I get Nome Census Area weather alerts on my iPhone?

Install Forecast Bar, add Nome Census Area as a location, and turn on severe weather alerts. Every NWS warning, watch and advisory for Nome Census Area then arrives as a push notification at the moment of issue, with Critical Alerts available for the most dangerous warnings. Forecast Bar also runs on iPad, Apple Watch, Mac and Apple TV.

Where do these alerts come from?

From the National Weather Service alert feed (api.weather.gov). NWS issues alerts by county and by forecast zone; this page lists every product that names Nome Census Area. Forecast Bar checks the feed continuously and this page refreshes within a few minutes of a change.

What is the difference between a watch, a warning and an advisory?

A warning means the hazard is occurring, imminent or very likely: act now. A watch means conditions are favourable for it to develop: prepare and stay informed. An advisory covers a hazard that is less serious than a warning but can still cause real inconvenience or danger if you are not ready for it.

Can I get this data as JSON?

Yes. /weather-alerts/ak/nome-census-area.json returns the active alerts, the last 30 days and the 12-month counts for Nome Census Area, refreshed every minute. Please cache responses and credit National Weather Service as the source.
