Warnings Badge

The badge in the top left corner of the screen indicates status of the warnings, watches, special weather statements, mesoscale discussions, and storm report feeds. If any active warnings are present in the warnings feed, the badge will appear as a red circle with the number of active warnings inside. If there are active watches but no warnings, the badge will be orange and the count will indicate the number of watches. If there are active special weather statements but no warnings or watches, the badge will be light yellow and the count will indicate the number of special weather statements. If there are active mesoscale discussions but no warnings, watches, special weather statements, the badge will be blue and the count will indicate the number of discussions. Finally if there are active mPING, spotter, or local storm reports but no warnings, watches, special weather statements, or mesoscale discussions, the badge will be gray and the count will indicate the number of reports.

Also note that the badge only displays for a particular type of product when its corresponding layer is enabled on the map. If the flash flood warnings layer is disabled the badge count won’t include flash flood warnings, if tornado watches are disabled, the badge count won’t include tornado watches, and so forth.

When the badge is visible, tapping it reveals a view listing all available feeds as well as lists of all available data sources, favorite sources, and your custom locations.
