Schools are going back into session and it’s a busy time for families. Parents get caught up in managing hectic schedules filled with car pools, homework, lessons, sports and more. Every member of the family has someplace to go and usually those places are scattered around town.
Weather doesn’t usually rank as a high priority among the list of worries with coming and going — unless conditions get bad quickly.
Conditions change quickly and parents may not always be able to get to their children in time to let them know that they may need an umbrella at the bus stop or to check and see if they are under cover in severe weather.

"Most other apps and source still use county-based alerts (meaning you'd get an alert even if your location in the county is not within the threatened area)."
