A few weeks ago I signed up to receive Severe Weather Alerts by e-mail from
Wunderground.com. In the afternoon, I get a warning/alert by e-mail
concerning the weather (if severe weather is expected). So far, I've
received alerts for frosts/freezing, fog, and once for high winds. The alert
usually gives details concerning how severe the weather will be (for
example, just how cold).
Anyway, I've been pleased with the alerts. When I receive a frost/freeze
alert in the evening, I run out with my frost cloth to cover the most
cold-sensitive plants.
To sign up for the alerts, go to the wunderground.com website.
