Watch Zones

The places that matter, always in view.

Clear. Caution. Shelter.

Know what to do next.

Every Watch Zone translates nearby lightning into one simple<br>status, with recent strike counts and notification state visible<br>at a glance.

More than a warning.

See the last nearby strike, distance, countdown to Clear, and a<br>one-hour activity history for the whole picture.
