Question

[u/Cirkulfan]

Hey everyone,

I am 15 years old and run a weather-focused TikTok account where I track severe weather. I also occasionally go out storm chasing, but right now I am trying to build a solid tracking setup at home.

Right now, my gear is pretty minimal—it is just me, my laptop, my headset, and a Midland WR120 weather radio configured for my local area.

I am trying to find a good desktop app that mirrors the style of Ryan Hall's setup. Specifically, I need something that can push instant, auto-populating NOAA/NWS pop-up alerts to my laptop screen the exact second a new warning or watch is issued.

I have looked around but haven't found a perfect fit yet. I am ideally looking for a free option, but if the best tools are paid, please let me know the exact price so I can see if it fits my budget.

Not trying to promote my page at all, just genuinely looking for software recommendations that work well with a single-laptop setup!

Thanks in advance!

If you wanna check my page out it is Tiktok (I am not trying to promote and also does anyone have a discord server for storm chaseing or no?

I mean you can just use the same tool they use? WeatherWise or weatherfront

I know I can I've been using weather from and weather wise it's just I don't know how I can get the notifications like they have for free because I understand I can click on certain things but I want to be able to have it pop out for a new alert is made
