Abstract

A system and methods for generating storm warnings which are precisely tailored automatically for a particular individual or business user's geographic location of interest, which may be provided automatically to the individual user or business. The user establishes an individualized user profile, in which the user may define a particular location of interest and a contact address to which a personalized storm warning is to be delivered. The user may also establish a storm profile defining attribute characteristics of a storm for which the user desires a storm warning to be provided, and an amount of advanced warning to be provided by the personalized storm warning. A
detailed and accurate storm track (12), which includes information describing storm characteristics (severe weather conditions) (28) as well as the current location and predicted track of movement of the storm, is generated (64). The storm track may be generated automatically from weather radar data (64), such as NEXRAD data, either alone, or in combination with local live weather radar information, to provide a more accurate storm track. Generated storm tracks are compared to individual user profiles. Personalized storm warnings (76) identifying in detail the storm conditions approaching a user location of interest and arrival time information for that location of interest are generated for user profiles defining time information for that location of interest are generated for user profiles defining locations of interest within a predicted storm track, if the storm track characteristics of the storm meet the attribute and advance warning characteristics specified in the storm profile established by the user. The personalized storm warnings may be delivered to users via e-mail, cell phone, pager, etc.
