Pattern
What Chatham County gets alerted for
Every alert that named Chatham County in the last 12 months, by type. Records begin August 30, 2026, so this fills in over the year.
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.
Rip currents that can pull swimmers offshore are expected. Swim near a lifeguard and know how to escape a rip.
Large breaking waves are expected on beaches, with dangerous rip currents. Stay off jetties and out of the water.
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.
Conditions are favourable for tornadoes in and near the watch area. Review your shelter plan and stay alert for warnings.
Conditions are favourable for flooding. Have a plan in case a warning is issued.
Minor coastal flooding is expected, usually around high tide. Expect water on low-lying roads near the shore.
Minor flooding of streets, streams or low-lying areas is expected. Expect ponding on roads and use caution when driving.
Heat index values high enough to cause heat illness with prolonged exposure. Drink water, stay in air conditioning and check on neighbours.
Visibility of a quarter mile or less is expected. Slow down and use low beams.
Flash flooding is occurring or imminent. Move to higher ground; never drive into water covering a road.
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.

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