AccuWeather Snow Warning Service™ Performance
AccuWeather Snow Warning Service™ issues two tiers of alerts: Winter Storm Alerts and Snow Warnings. These warnings are issued by AccuWeather’s expert meteorologists, are location-specific and often provide significantly more advance notice than National Weather Service (NWS) alerts and all other known sources. AccuWeather differs from other services in that our alerts and warnings originate from our snow experts, unlike many others, which often simply repackage NWS advisories and warnings.
