00:04Severe thunderstorms and widely separated tornadoes also a problem across parts of the central U.S. and even in the
00:12southern U.S. here early this week.
00:14We have many tools in the free AccuWeather app to help you to make the best decisions and stay safer
00:20in all forms of weather.
00:22Severe weather and when you need to check the forecast day to day we've got all those resources with AccuWeather's
00:28proven superior accuracy here in the free AccuWeather app which you can download by the way by opening up your
00:34smartphone's camera and scanning the QR code on the screen.
00:38One of the most useful tools is our push notifications for severe weather and I want to show you to
00:42activate those and you tap on the bars here in the upper right hand corner of the AccuWeather app and
00:48go down to the settings area.
00:50And you go into manage notifications here and this is a very important screen because this is where you have
00:56the setup here to be able to turn on different types of push notifications.
00:59So first of all you want to make sure government alerts are turned on for your current location and any
01:05other location that you care about.
01:06You notice on my version of the AccuWeather app here I've got multiple places here.
01:10People can load in where their kids live, where their parents live, maybe where they like to vacation, all those
01:17kinds of things.
01:17So turn on government alerts for those locations.
01:21Also lightning alerts. AccuWeather will let you know when lightning is occurring near your vicinity.
01:26And you can also activate the AccuWeather alerts which is a subscription service that provides often more advanced notice when
01:33AccuWeather can complement and extend the benefit of government warnings.
01:36We do that as well.
01:37So this is a great resource for you to turn on.
01:40And of course I want to point out you can go to the map section and under government advisories.
01:44Just an example to show you plotted severe weather warnings that you can tap on for more details.
