Active Weather Alerts Board Screensaver
The Active Weather Alerts Board screensaver streams real active US weather watches and warnings. It is free, runs in your browser, and ESC exits.
How the Active Weather Alerts Board screensaver works
The saver reads real currently-active alerts from the National Weather Service's own public API.
Each entry shows a real alert type, severity and affected area.
The pipeline refreshes the feed regularly as alerts are issued or expire.
No key is required for this key-less public endpoint.
A worked example
A real severe thunderstorm warning for a real named area scrolls past exactly as the National Weather Service issued it.
