NWS Weather Alerts Widget
net.justdave.nwsweatheralertswidget
Zapstore _@zapstore.dev Republished from GitHub / F-Droid by the Zapstore main account.
Android home screen widget to display current weather alerts from the US National Weather Service. You can choose a county or state within the US (or the entire US) and it will display a list of all of the current weather alerts for that area on the widget. If there's more than fits, the list scrolls, and you can tap on an alert to open the full text of the alert. There is an accompanying app which can be used to configure what area you want and shows the raw feed data if you're really curious (though that part was mostly there for debugging, and might go away one of these days now that it all works). It does not currently do audible alerts (or any alerts), but that's probably coming soon.

Releases
- Jul 2, 2026 2.3.1* Fixed an issue with the Alert Detail screen failing to load content from the new alert if you looked at two different alerts back to back * Cleaned up the header on the Alert Details screen to waste less space. * Reconfiguring a widget now correctly shows the previous configuration and the button says "Save" instead of "Add" * Fixed an issue on older devices where the Alert Detail would open scrolled partway down preventing you from seeing the info at the top.
- Jun 30, 2026 2.3* Changed the title of the persistent notification during updates to say what we're actually doing instead of just having the name of the app. * Major overhaul of the Alert Detail screen, it now pulls some key information out of the alert and puts it in cards at the top for easy access. * Material 3 design for the main app screens. * Lots of new icons for more event types (fewer generic NWS logos!) * "Advisory" events are now orange, to indicate they're more important than a Watch (yellow) but less important than a Warning (red).
- Apr 25, 2026 2.2.4* Target SDK 37 / Android 17 * Change polling interval from 5 minutes to 1 minute. Online discussions seem to indicate that still won't exceed the API limits, and it provides faster updates for fast-changing weather info.
- Dec 23, 2025 2.2.3* Fixes a crash at boot on Android 14+
