Weather Source: Dynamic Weather Alerting Service (DWAS)

DWAS is a highly configurable web-based application that ensures your business is never surprised by a weather event at your location(s) of interest. DWAS allows a business to plot their business locations and then set predetermined weather triggers and/or receive notifications when an issued weather advisory, watch, warning or weather event has the potential to impact your business or asset. Alerts and notifications are available for any location around the globe and include the exact time an alert is issued, becomes active and will expire. With Weather Source’s Dynamic Weather Alerting Service (DWAS) you can now easily configure and receive notifications and alerts for any user-defined weather parameter or extreme weather warning issued by various global government agencies such as the U.S. National Weather Service and Canadian Ready Alerts that have the potential to impact your business locations. User-defined alerts allow DWAS users the ability to set alerting thresholds and rules for all supported weather parameters (i.e., alert me when rain exceeds 1 mm per hour or wind speed is below 20mph, etc.) including weather events that normally would not rise to the level to trigger a government warning, watch or advisory (e.g., alerts are generally not issued for wind speeds under 30mph but hot-air balloon companies definitely need to be alerted when wind speed is under 30mph). Through DWAS your business will receive alerts when the forecasted or actual weather exceeds the predetermined threshold for the selected weather parameter. For government issued alerts (i.e., tornado warnings) DWAS allows users the ability to select both the phenomena (e.g., flooding, dense fog, blizzard) and the anticipated level of significance (e.g., advisory, watch, or warning).
