The WRAL Weather app uses your phone's GPS to track your location and alert you when you are in the path of severe weather. There's no need to enter your home or work address. Just keep your phone turned on and nearby. Customize the alerts you receive -- lightning, dangerous storms, severe thunderstorm warnings. To download the app, visit the Apple iTunes store OR visit the Google Play store for the Android app. Be sure to allow the app to always use your location for accurate and timely alerting.

WRAL WeatherCall is a personalized severe weather warning service from WRAL-TV. When you sign up, you give us the address of your home, business, or child's school. Whenever severe weather threatens that address, you will get a call from the WRAL WeatherCenter, telling you about the threat and what to do to prepare. This is a subscription service that costs $8 a year. Click to learn more or subscribe.
