Weather Disclaimer

The disclaimer in full
WeatherSignal is an informational service and does not replace official warnings, forecasts, or guidance from national weather services, emergency management agencies, or other government authorities. WeatherSignal does not guarantee forecast accuracy, alert delivery, data availability, or outage detection, and does not provide medical, emergency, safety, legal, or financial advice. During severe weather or emergencies, always follow instructions issued by official authorities.
What this means in practice
- Official warnings win. When a national weather service issues a warning for your area, that warning is the authority — not anything WeatherSignal displays or calculates.
- WeatherSignal does not issue alerts. Warnings shown here are republished from the issuing agency, with the agency name, area, effective time, and expiration attached.
- WeatherSignal calculations are our own. Today's Weather Score, Umbrella or Nah?, Best Time Today, Car Wash Check, Dog Walk Window, Cookout Check, Windows Down?, and Hair Weather are deterministic calculations from forecast values, described on our methodology page. They are conveniences, not safety instructions.
- Data can be delayed or missing. Provider outages, rate limits, and gaps happen. Panels show a source time and a checked time, and are flagged when stale.
- Do not use WeatherSignal as your only warning system. Keep a NOAA Weather Radio, your national alerting app, or local emergency notifications enabled.
Emergencies
WeatherSignal is not an emergency service and cannot dispatch help. In an emergency, contact your local emergency number and follow the instructions of official authorities.
