Basically was getting annoyed jumping between 5 different sites during this winter storm season, so I built "StormWatch". It's a no-fuss, mobile-friendly webpage (dashboard) that shows all the stuff I was looking for, but in one simple UI.
Features:
- Real-time NWS alerts with safety tips - Snow/ice/precip accumulation forecasts (+wind) - Dynamic preparation checklists based on your alerts - Supply calculator for your household size - Regional weather news
It's free, no login required, works on any device. Just enter your ZIP.

Uses NWS and GDELT APIs and open source. Feel free to fork and modify however you'd like.
For builders: - Used an API-testing agent to verify all endpoints, response patterns, types, and rate limits - Used a scope & validation agent to keep the slices simple, focused, and tested - VS-code Copilot (Sonnet 4 for dev agents + Opus 4.5 for scope and validation)
