Real-Time Alerts

A Heads-Up Before Hail Hits Your Car

We check for National Weather Service hail warnings near you every 2 minutes. A warning often comes 15–30 minutes before the storm, time that may let you move your car under cover.

By enabling hail alerts you agree to our Terms of Service. Hail alerts are a courtesy service, provided as is, free or paid. An alert may be late or may never arrive: it depends on many things outside our control, including whether the National Weather Service issues a warning for your area, email and text message delivery, your device, carrier and spam filters, and our own systems. Never rely on these alerts alone to protect yourself, others or your property. To the fullest extent the law allows, Verby, LLC (Route Outlook) is not liable for any loss or damage arising from an alert that is late, missing or wrong. Some places do not allow these limits, so they may not apply to you, and nothing here limits liability that cannot be limited by law, such as for death or personal injury caused by our negligence where the law forbids that, or for gross negligence or willful misconduct.

A Few Minutes Can Make a Difference
