NOAA National Weather Service
forecast.weather.govI don’t have real-time access right now, but I can summarize how to get the latest National Weather Service updates for Ann Arbor, MI, and what to expect from trusted sources.
Direct answer
- For the most recent weather alerts and advisories in the Ann Arbor area, check the National Weather Service Detroit/Pontiac office page, or the NWS weather warnings for Washtenaw County. This is the authoritative source for watches, warnings, and short-term outlooks.
Where to look and what to expect
- National Weather Service Detroit/Pontiac: Look for the active severe weather section, watch/warning/advisory lists, and spellout of any tornado, severe thunderstorm, flood, or winter weather statements affecting Ann Arbor. These pages refresh during weather events and include map-based alerts and polygon warnings.
- Local media and NWS social channels: Local TV stations (e.g., Detroit/Ann Arbor area affiliates) and the NWS Detroit Twitter/X account typically publish quick summaries during active events.
How to stay safe during severe events
- If you hear tornado sirens or receive a confirmed tornado warning, seek shelter indoors in a sturdy building, preferably in an interior room on the lowest floor (basement if available).
- For severe thunderstorms, move away from windows, avoid using electrical appliances, and have a plan to shelter if straight-line winds or hail are reported.
- Have a NOAA Weather Radio or a reliable alert app enabled for continuous updates.
