There is certain criteria that sets it off. I'm not sure what all it entails. This morning's alert was for the tropical storm watch. I was told at the fire dept that impending storms with winds in excess of 50 mph and storms with hail of a certain size would result in an alert. My main purpose for having one is to be alerted of a tornado, particularly at night.
