What Apple Weather alerts come as Critical

[estesbubba]

I've been a Carrot weather user forever and you can configure which weather alerts come across as critical. I do tornado and several thunderstorm warnings with damage tag. With Apple Weather there is an option to send critical alerts but it doesn't say what alerts will come across as critical, and doing web searches I can't find anything on this. Anyone know which alerts come across as critical?

Do you mean the severe weather alert setting in the app? If so, my experience is the severe weather alerts appear to track the NOAA alerts for the particular area. YMMV, and of course it may be different in other jurisdictions not using NOAA.

I'm talking about what alerts come as time sensitive and what alerts come as critical. For example with Carrot, severe thunderstorm watches and severe thunderstorm warnings come as time sensitive, but tornado warnings and thunderstorm warnings with the damage tag come as critical. With Apple Weather, they don't tell you which ones are critical, and I don't want a critical alert blasting for drizzle in an all-company meeting!

I haven't found any specific answers, either.

If it were me, with the concern you have, I would look at using Focus.

I'm sure if it is a severe thunderstorm with damage or tornado warning or something along those lines will count as critical. I highly doubt that drizzle counts as a critical alert.
