Why Have Both

ZoneWatch shows the weather. AWA tells you when it matters.

  • ZoneWatch shows you the weather — radar, lightning, thunderstorm risk, and other tools so you can monitor conditions yourself
  • AWA explains what it means — expert meteorologist analysis and private alerts when something important could affect your area
  • Together you get technology + expert analysis, instead of relying on only one or the other
  • AWA can tip you that storms are becoming likely near a saved location; open ZoneWatch to watch radar, lightning, and risk in real time
  • AWA members can also open supported alerts, articles, and live updates inside the ZoneWatch app with the same account
  • ZoneWatch Premium and AWA Private Alerts are managed separately — each subscription covers its own product
The Ultimate Weather Defense Scenario

ZoneWatch + AWA from early warning to all clear.

  1. 01

    An AWA Advance Thunderstorm Notice arrives one day before a thunderstorm event.

  2. 02

    This expert briefing allows you to confidently secure outdoor assets and reschedule critical plans well ahead of time.

  3. 03

    As the storm day arrives, ZoneWatch automatically takes command of your immediate physical perimeter.

  4. 04

    You receive instant proximity alerts via push notifications the exact minute precipitation starts falling at your specific location and intensity.

  5. 05

    Sudden dangerous wind speed changes and temperature drops trigger immediate real time notifications.

  6. 06

    Second by second lightning detection warns you exactly when strikes breach your critical safety radius so you can seek shelter immediately, knowing when you are in the strike zone and when storms have passed in the clear.

  7. 07

    Once the severe threat passes your radius, ZoneWatch provides minute by minute and hour by hour clearance updates so you can safely resume normal activities.
