NWS Weather Alerts Scraper

Collect active warnings, watches, advisories, and statements directly from the U.S. National Weather Service by state or territory. The Actor preserves emergency instructions, timing, affected areas, severity, certainty, urgency, geometry, and official links.

What you get

  • Current alerts from the official NWS API
  • Deduplicated records across multiple area codes
  • Optional event, severity, and urgency filters
  • GeoJSON geometry and geocodes for maps and routing

Output fields

id, area_code, event, headline, description, instruction, severity, certainty, urgency, status, area_description, effective, onset, expires, ends, sender_name, geometry, and source_url.

Example output

{"event":"Flood Warning","headline":"Flood Warning issued by NWS","severity":"Severe","urgency":"Immediate","area_description":"Example County, Texas","effective":"2026-07-21T10:00:00Z","source_url":"https://api.weather.gov/alerts/example"}

Use cases

Emergency monitoring, logistics alerts, travel risk, insurance workflows, local news, public-safety maps, and automated notifications.

Limitations

Only alerts active at run time are returned, so quiet areas may produce no rows. NWS may update or cancel alerts after collection. Do not use any automated feed as the sole source for life-safety decisions.

Compared to alternatives

Unlike broad weather products, this Actor focuses on detailed official alert records and simple multi-area exports. Try the NWS Weather Alerts Scraper, browse Thirdwatch on Apify, or see the NWS Actor page.

FAQ
