More Ways Than Ever to Get Your Weather Information

Here in the Doppler 10 Forecast Center we have made it where you have many different avenues to get weather update when you need them. 

 

In this blog I thought I would show you all of the different ways that you can get the weather information you need from News 10:

 

-         On your TV- even though we have added a lot of new stuff we are still a TV station, so yes that is a great place to get fast and accurate weather info.  During severe weather situations will post watches and warnings, run crawls, and do cutins when needed.

 

-         On KWTX.com- the weather section of KWTX.com continues to grow with more and more useful weather information.  You can find Doppler 10 radar, the seven day forecast, you web weather forecast, weather graphics for here and all over the U.S., and so much more

 

-         On KWTXtogo.com- if you have a web enabled cell phone you can log on to kwtxtogo.com and look at Doppler 10 radar and get your latest forecast.

 

-         With Text messages- Many times you may not be paying attention to the weather.  To help solve that problem you can go to KWTX.com and sign up for text messages that will be sent directly to you cell phone when severe weather warnings are issued for Central Texas.

 

-         Desktop Alert- this is a cool feature that you can set up on your work or home computer.  It gives you the current weather information and when severe weather, or breaking news happens, it will run a crawl across the bottom of you computer screen

 

-         Streaming Coverage on the Web- This is our newest feature that we have added to our severe weather coverage.  If you are at work or away from a TV, you can log on to KWTX.com during severe weather and see live streaming coverage from the Doppler 10 Forecast Center.  This is raw and unedited coverage, so if you have ever wanted to see what happens behind the scenes in the forecast center, then this is a great tool for you.

Thank you so much for keeping us informed. I refer to several of these avenues daily to stay up with the weather. The new streaming coverage on the web is FABULOUS! I kept watching into the night during severe weather this past week. It was great to still be able to keep up with the weather throughout the night and even after I got to work the next morning. I didn't get much sleep, but I felt very safe knowing that you (Brady), Rusty, Lon, and Keith were keeping us informed and notifying us of the most serious storm locations and paths. You all have great technology, great minds, and the ability to communicate clearly and in a manner the average person can understand. You all do a fantastic job of conveying the information to us. Thank you for "teaching" as you tell us what is going on. You guys are the best!
