Abstract
A system and method for outputting weather data associated with a user-specified location based on a user-specified weather inquiry, including weather data output based on user-specified weather conditions, locations output based on a user-specified weather inquiry, notifications output regarding weather-related warnings, and notifications output based on weather-related notification thresholds.
Claims29
A system, comprising:
- a weather information database configured to store weather data associated with a plurality of geographic locations including a plurality of weather-related warnings associated with the plurality of geographic locations received from a third party;
- a graphical user interface configured to receive at least one user-specified location and at least one user-specified weather inquiry from a user, the user-specified weather inquiry comprising at least one weather-related warning of the plurality of weather-related warnings;
- a user information database configured to store the user-specified location and the user-specified weather inquiry received from the user via the graphical user interface;
- and
- an analysis unit configured to:
- determine if the weather data includes the at least one weather-related warning specified by the user-specified weather inquiry in the user-specified location;
- and
- output a notification to the user in response to a determination that the weather data includes the at least one weather-related warning specified by the user-specified weather inquiry in the user-specified location.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing instructions that, when executed by a processor, causes a computing device to:
- receive weather data associated with a plurality of geographic locations, the weather data including a plurality of weather-related warnings associated with the plurality of geographic locations received from a third party;
- receive at least one user-specified location and at least one user-specified weather inquiry from a user via a graphical user interface, the user-specified weather inquiry comprising at least one weather-related warning of the plurality of weather-related warnings;
- store the user-specified location and the user-specified weather inquiry received from the user via the graphical user interface;
- determine if the weather data includes the at least one weather-related warning specified by the user-specified weather inquiry in the user-specified location;
- and
- output a notification to the user in response to a determination that the weather data includes the at least one weather-related warning specified by the user-specified weather inquiry in the user-specified location.
