Introducing Weather Alerts: Real-Time Severe Weather Notifications for Families
At Life360, we’re always thinking about those everyday “what if” moments. What if the kids are at practice when a storm rolls in? What if grandma’s across the country when a hurricane warning pops up? Those questions can weigh on families — and we wanted to help take some of that stress off your plate.
That’s why we built Weather Alerts, powered by AccuWeather. This new feature gives you a heads-up when severe weather is headed your way — or toward anyone in your Circle.
How It Works
Weather Alerts are based on real-time location data, so they’re not just generic warnings. They’re personalized for you and your family.
Here’s what you’ll get:
Advance alerts, tailored for your Circle. Be notified before severe weather hits, so you can take action sooner.
Peace of mind, no matter the distance. Whether your teen’s across town or your parents are three states away, you’ll know if dangerous weather is nearby so they can take action.
AccuWeather reliability. These alerts are powered by one of the most trusted names in weather, so you know the info is solid.
Simple controls. Notifications are easy to manage, so you only get what’s relevant.
Why We Built It
We heard from so many families who were juggling weather apps, group texts, and a lot of “are you safe?” check-ins. The common thread? Wanting less worry and more certainty.
Weather Alerts do just that. By cutting through the noise and sending timely, location-based notifications, you get the clarity you need — without the scramble. Our hope is simple: that you’ll feel a little more prepared, a little more connected, and a lot less stressed when the skies turn gray.
Wherever You Live, Stay a Step Ahead
From hurricane alerts in Florida, to tornado warnings in Texas and Oklahoma, to winter storm updates in the Midwest and Northeast — Weather Alerts are built to keep families safer across the country.
It’s just one more way Life360 helps you look out for the people who matter most.
