MD Weather Alerts

Maryland's community weather app: official NWS alerts, animated radar, a full-state map, and live neighbor reports — now with a big update full of new ways to explore.

MD Weather Alerts is Maryland weather, built for the people who live here.

Get your local forecast, official National Weather Service watches and warnings in plain language, animated radar, and a real community of Marylanders reporting what's happening outside — all in one friendly, privacy-first app.

RADAR & MAP • Smooth, animated radar you can scrub through time • A full-screen Maryland map with layers you control — radar, active alert areas, river & stream gauges, air quality, and road incidents • Every county on an interactive map: search, compare, and save your favorites

A REAL COMMUNITY • See and submit local weather reports — moderator-reviewed and privacy-protected • Follow other Marylanders and build a personal feed • Confirm reports, comment, and earn a trusted-reporter reputation through real activity • Weather Moments turn big weather into shared pages you can look back on

EARN, COLLECT & EXPLORE (all optional, all for fun) • Earn points for safe participation and spend them in the Weather Store • Collect items and flairs in your Weather Locker, and discover Weatherlings • Take on Weather Quests and safety-first Weather Explorer missions • Dozens of color themes and a live weather background — make it yours

PRIVACY & SAFETY FIRST • Every core feature works without an account • Location is used only when a feature needs it; your public report location is randomized to protect your privacy, and photo metadata is removed before upload • Nothing you buy or collect ever affects alerts, report credibility, or safety • Never travel toward danger to use the app. In an emergency, call 911.
