NOAA Alerts

http://www.crh.noaa.gov/news/display_cmsstory.php?wfo=crh&storyid=83063&source=0
Starting in June the NWS and NOAA will begin sending weather alerts to your phone. They will send a signal to the towers in a warned area, which can then go to your phone. This will only include the most serious warnings (Blizzard, Ice Storm, Tornado, Flash Flood, High Wind, Dust Storm, Presidential messages, or Hurricane Warnings). Things like Winter WX Advisories, Wind Advisories, Severe Thunderstorm Warnings, Tropical Storm Warnings, or any-type of watch will not be broadcasted using this service. This is to help spur the public to action during times when serious natural or man-made disasters strike.
