Pattern
What Norfolk city gets alerted for
Every alert that named Norfolk city 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.
Minor coastal flooding is expected, usually around high tide. Expect water on low-lying roads near the shore.
Significant coastal flooding is possible. Prepare to protect property near the shore.
Conditions are favourable for tornadoes in and near the watch area. Review your shelter plan and stay alert for warnings.
Significant coastal flooding is occurring or imminent, typically at high tide. Move away from low-lying shoreline areas.
Heat index values high enough to cause heat illness with prolonged exposure. Drink water, stay in air conditioning and check on neighbours.
Conditions are favourable for severe thunderstorms with large hail or damaging wind. Keep an eye on the sky and on warnings.
Sustained winds of 30 mph or more, or gusts to 45 mph, are expected. Use caution driving high-profile vehicles.
Flash flooding is occurring or imminent. Move to higher ground; never drive into water covering a road.
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 Norfolk alerts
How do I get Norfolk weather alerts on my iPhone?
Install Forecast Bar, add Norfolk as a location, and turn on severe weather alerts. Every NWS warning, watch and advisory for Norfolk city 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 Norfolk city, the city Norfolk 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/va/norfolk.json returns the active alerts, the last 30 days and the 12-month counts for Norfolk, refreshed every minute. Please cache responses and credit National Weather Service as the source.
