ACTION REQUIRED - FOX6 StormWarn service changing

IF YOU WISH TO CONTINUE TO RECEIVE AUTOMATED EMAIL ALERTS FROM THE FOX6 STORMWARN TEAM, READ BELOW.

Since 1999, FOX6 has provided free severe weather email alerts from FOX6 StormWarn. In that time, we have delivered more than 65 million severe weather email alerts to people all over north and central Alabama.

The company which powers the FOX6 StormWarn email alerts, StormNow.com, notified us earlier this year it was ceasing operations effective April 1, 2012. Since that time, we have worked with our current weather forecast email provider to add optional severe weather weather email alerts. That option is now available.

To continue receiving automated email severe weather alerts from FOX6 StormWarn beyond March 31, 2012, you must subscribe to our new email alerts option.

To subscribe, please visit:

Once you get there, you will see a box in the middle of the screen.

Click the "Weather Forecast Email Sign Up Today!" link and follow the instructions for creating an account. You will be asked to supply your email address, desired password, location (city/state) for the daily Weather E-mail Delivery and location (city/state) for the Severe Weather Alert E-mail Notifications.

Note: If you currently receive our daily weather email forecast every morning around 5 a.m., then click the "Existing Subscribers Click here to update your settings" link to add your location (city/state) to the Severe Weather Alert E-mail Notifications section.

Once subscribed, you will receive email alerts for the following types of severe weather:

    Flash Flood Warning
    Hurricane Warning
    Hurricane Watch
    Severe Thunderstorm Warning
    Tornado Warning
    Tropical Storm Warning
    Tropical Storm Watch

IMPORTANT: You will receive email alerts for only the location (city/state) you choose. This system cannot deliver email alerts for multiple locations.

If you want to receive email alerts for more than one location, you will need to subscribe using a separate email address for each desired location.
