# Active weather alerts for Kentucky

**Use case:** 

Kentucky is split into 120 NWS forecast zones across 120 counties, and warnings are issued per zone, not per state. This returns every alert in force for area KY right now: event, severity, urgency, certainty, the zones covered, start and expiry times, the headline and the full text - from api.weather.gov itself. Swap the area, or give a "lat,lon" point.

## Input

```json
{
  "areas": [
    "KY"
  ],
  "severity": [],
  "urgency": [],
  "event": [],
  "maxResults": 50,
  "maxRetries": 3
}
```

## Output

```json
{
  "ok": {
    "label": "OK",
    "format": "boolean"
  },
  "scope": {
    "label": "Area",

## About this Actor

This example demonstrates how to use [US Weather Alerts API - Active NWS Severe Storm Warnings](https://apify.com/neverempty/us-weather-alerts.md) with a specific input configuration. Visit the [Actor detail page](https://apify.com/neverempty/us-weather-alerts.md) to learn more, explore other use cases, and run it yourself.


## How to integrate an Actor?

This Task's input is already configured above. Use it as-is rather than inventing a new one.

Do not guess an integration path. Every one of them is in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md: the Apify MCP server, Agent Skills with the Apify CLI, the JavaScript and Python clients, the REST API, and the account-free path for an agent with no human to sign in. It also carries the rule on stating cost before the first paid run.

For full API examples (JavaScript, Python, CLI, MCP, OpenAPI), see this Task's Actor page: https://apify.com/neverempty/us-weather-alerts.md

Each client library has reference documentation the quickstart does not restate: [JavaScript/TypeScript](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md) (`npm install apify-client`) and [Python](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md) (`pip install apify-client`).
