StormSync VT/OI taps directly into the NOAA Weather Wire Service Open Interface — the same live feed that powers TV broadcasters and emergency management agencies. Alerts hit your screen in under three seconds, not minutes.
Hooks straight into NOAA's Weather Wire Service Open Interface over authenticated XMPP — the fastest way a civilian can receive NWS products.
Reads and decodes NWS VTEC strings, UGC zones, phenomena codes, and significance levels. Tornado alerts are broken down into sub-types — Emergency, PDS, Confirmed, Observed, or Radar Indicated — each with its own severity rank from 1 to 115.
Every alert tier gets its own color — Tornado Emergency in magenta, PDS in purple, down to advisories at the bottom. One glance tells you what's happening, even when things move fast.
A local model trained on your alert history flags things worth a second look — out-of-season activity, office bursts, and unusual alert combinations.
Audio tones escalate with severity. Every tornado tier has its own distinct sound, so you know what's happening before you even look at the screen.
Everything is stored in a local SQLite database — full history, ready for analysis or replay. Nothing leaves your computer.
