SMS Alert Program

Storm Tracker by WeatherAlerts offers SMS text message alerts as part of our Premium subscription service. This page explains what you're agreeing to when you opt in to receive SMS alerts.

Your Consent

By providing your mobile phone number and checking the SMS consent box during Premium signup, you expressly consent to receive automated text messages from Storm Tracker by WeatherAlerts regarding:

  • Tornado Warnings - Active tornadoes confirmed on the ground or detected by radar
  • Tornado Watches - Conditions favorable for tornado development
  • Severe Thunderstorm Warnings - Dangerous storms that can spawn tornadoes
  • Other Severe Weather Alerts - Flash floods, winter storms, tropical systems, and more

Important: Your consent is not a condition of purchasing any goods or services. However, SMS alerts are only available with a Premium subscription ($9.99/month, $49.99/year, or $129.99 lifetime).

Message Frequency

Message frequency varies based on severe weather activity in your monitored locations. You may receive:

  • No messages during periods of calm weather
  • Multiple messages during active severe weather events
  • Messages at any time - day or night, 24/7/365

We only send alerts when official National Weather Service warnings are issued for your specific monitored addresses. We do not send promotional, marketing, or non-emergency messages.

Standard message and data rates may apply from your mobile carrier. Please check with your carrier regarding their text messaging plan. Storm Tracker by WeatherAlerts is not responsible for any charges you may incur from your mobile carrier.

How to Opt Out (STOP)

You can opt out of SMS alerts at any time by:

  • Reply STOP to any text message from us
  • Disable SMS alerts in your app alert preferences
  • Downgrade to Free (app notifications only) from your account settings

Note: If you opt out via STOP, you'll continue to receive email alerts (if enabled) but will no longer receive SMS alerts. Your Premium subscription will remain active with all other features.
