Denver winter weather can be very unpredictable at times. Mountain snow
storms are normal during the winter season, but you should always stay
updated on winter weather storms in your area. Channel 7 Denver has created an app called Storm Shield that allows you to see current
weather storms where ever you are. This app can be used on either iPhone
or Android phones that delivers up to date warnings from the National
Weather Service. After downloading the app, you can input up to 5
locations depending on where you live, work or vacation. Your phone
will receive updates based on each location and severe weather
patterns. These updates are available 24 hours a day and will allow
time for you to prepare for a storm or seek shelter.
Storm Shield uses the "Polygon Warning System" that allows you to pin
point the exact effected area. This allows the app to contact a
specific area versus the entire county and people not in the area.
Storm Shield also uses geo-location to determine if you are in a storm
path. Even if you are outside of your 5 locations, this app will
contact you if a storm is headed your way.
This weather warnings are important for your winter safety, it is vital that
these warnings and updates are quick. Storm Shield will use its
database of subscribers and warn the people closest to the storm and fan
out until all users are notified in time. This app should notify all
users within minutes of the National Weather Service warning.
Depending on your location, you can also choose what type of warnings
you would like to be issued. If snow is the largest problem in your
area, you can be informed of all snow warnings quickly.
