Pattern
What Houston County gets alerted for

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 30 mph or more, or gusts to 45 mph, are expected. Use caution driving high-profile vehicles.
Tropical storm conditions (sustained winds of 39 to 73 mph) are expected within 36 hours. Finish preparations.
Conditions are favourable for flooding. Have a plan in case a warning is issued.
Flash flooding is occurring or imminent. Move to higher ground; never drive into water covering a road.
Conditions are favourable for tornadoes in and near the watch area. Review your shelter plan and stay alert for warnings.
Tropical storm conditions are possible within 48 hours. Begin preparations.
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.
Minor flooding of streets, streams or low-lying areas is expected. Expect ponding on roads and use caution when driving.
A storm with hail of 1 inch or larger, winds of 58 mph or more, or both, is occurring or imminent. Move indoors and away from windows.
Visibility of a quarter mile or less is expected. Slow down and use low beams.

Questions
About Dothan alerts
How do I get Dothan weather alerts on my iPhone?
Install Forecast Bar, add Dothan as a location, and turn on severe weather alerts. Every NWS warning, watch and advisory for Houston County 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 Houston County, the county Dothan sits in. 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/al/dothan.json returns the active alerts, the last 30 days and the 12-month counts for Dothan, refreshed every minute. Please cache responses and credit National Weather Service as the source.
