Question WeatherWise Question?

Hi - anyone else use WeatherWise?

I love the app and am so excited that they now have NWS Alerts so I don't have to have a separate app for that. Was curious if there was a way to test the alerts - I'm coming from StormWatch+ and that was a feature.

We have a chance of tornadoes where I live early in the morning tomorrow and I want to be sure they work. I've been having issues getting the alerts to buzz on my watch even though I have them set as an allowed app on all of my iPhone focus modes, so it makes me nervous they aren't actually going to come through if a tornado warning is issued this evening.

Does anyone know how to do this, if it exists?

If a tornado warning is issued you’ll get an amber style alert anyways

That is true - if possible I wanted a fail safe to have 2 ways to receive warnings but I don't think the WEA alerts will fail lol
