How our Outdoor Warning System works

The system gathers data from weather stations & the NWS

Unlike weather apps that rely on strictly public data, your dedicated Perry Weather station monitors conditions at your exact location.

  • Weather stations automatically collect data

    On-site weather stations automatically track weather conditions delivering real-time data to the Perry Weather dashboard.

  • Fast, accurate weather alerts

    Perry Weather detects lightning & listens for 50+ national weather service alerts

  • Responds to 50+ NWS Alerts

    Perry Weather listens for over 50 national weather service alerts including tornadoes, flash floods, severe thunderstorms & more.

Create triggers for weather alerts, emergency notices & routine communications

The Perry Weather team will guide you through policy set up so that your warning system activates for only the weather conditions that impact your operations.

  • Policy setup done for you

    We’ll work with you to add your weather policies or create emergency alert triggers that makes sense for your organization.

  • Create triggers to activate strobes, sirens and PA messages

    Customize what hardware your triggers will activate, including sounds and custom messages.

  • Temporary access for contractors or seasonal employees

    Give temporary employees timed access to Perry Weather, so you don’t eat into your user count.

Alert your team of weather risks & other emergencies

Perry Weather delivers real-time alerts to the right people, keeping your team ahead of the weather.

  • Automated sirens & strobes

    Trigger Perry Weather siren & visual strobes independently or simultaneously during policy-triggered weather delays with custom siren tones.

  • Schedule PA messages with specific instructions

Yes. Perry Weather lets you configure exactly how your hardware responds on each custom trigger. You may trigger strobes, sirens and PA for a lockdown drill announcement, but only a PA message for a routine team meeting announcement.

Every combination can be tailored to match your emergency action plan so your team gets the right response for each specific threat.

Perry Weather monitors far more than just lightning. The platform tracks over 60 weather conditions including lightning, severe thunderstorms, tornadoes, flash floods, high winds, extreme heat, and more.

It pulls from lightning detection networks, on-site weather stations, and National Weather Service alerts so your team is covered across the full spectrum of weather threats, not just one.
