National and local weather from official sources
MyUSA.us brings national conditions and local weather together in one clean place. Search a city, ZIP code, or address for a local forecast, check active alerts, or use the nationwide radar to see where rain and storms are moving. The site also organizes hurricane information, severe-storm outlooks, flooding and river conditions, air quality, and practical weather-safety guidance. Each section helps visitors move quickly from a national view to the official local details that matter for travel, home, work, and outdoor plans.
Official weather sources
Forecasts, watches, warnings, observations, and radar are drawn from official public sources such as NOAA and the National Weather Service. Hurricane information points to the National Hurricane Center, severe-weather outlooks come from the Storm Prediction Center, and air-quality guidance uses EPA AirNow. Source links are provided so important information can be checked directly. River tools use the National Water Prediction Service, while safety resources point to FEMA and Ready.gov.
Publisher information
MyUSA.us was founded and is published by Scaplen. Scaplen oversees the site's direction, source selection, accessibility, corrections, and continued improvement. The site is designed to make trusted public weather and travel information easier to use without obscuring where the information comes from.
How information is presented
MyUSA.us reformats official data for readability but does not create official forecasts or alerts. Update times are displayed when provided. Radar and other third-party services can experience brief delays or outages.
Built for dependable delivery
Local forecasts are delivered through the MyUSA weather engine, which organizes official forecast, hourly, observation, and alert information into one lightweight response. Recent successful forecasts are saved so MyUSA.us can continue showing the most recently available official information during a brief provider delay. When saved information is used, the site identifies the delay and shows when it was retrieved.
MyUSA Warning Watch
MyUSA Warning Watch monitors your enabled saved locations and delivers serious National Weather Service warnings—even when MyUSA is closed. Visitors can save up to five locations, choose which locations receive alerts, and turn browser notification permission off at any time. When a qualifying warning is new or meaningfully updated, the notification identifies the warning and saved location. Tapping it opens that location's alert information in MyUSA.
MyUSA does not issue these warnings. Warning Watch relays selected official NWS warnings and emergency-level products and does not promise delivery of every outlook, watch, advisory, or warning. Delivery can be affected by NWS availability, internet service, browser support, device settings, Focus or silent modes, battery restrictions, and other conditions outside MyUSA's control. Keep Wireless Emergency Alerts enabled and use more than one official warning method.
Improvement with a purpose
MyUSA.us continually studies new ways to make weather information more useful, clear, fast, reliable, and safe—even when an idea is ultimately not added to the site. Each improvement is weighed against trusted sourcing, accessibility, privacy, cost, and how well it works across phones, tablets, and computers. The goal is not to collect the most features. It is to choose the features that genuinely help people understand official weather and make confident decisions.
Read the Editorial & Data Policy for source selection, update practices, automated-page safeguards, corrections, and outage handling.
Independent and ad-free
MyUSA.us is an independent website, not a government agency or official government warning service. Its purpose is to make trusted weather information easier to find without advertising clutter, pop-ups, paid forecast rankings, or third-party forecast guesses.
Use more than one warning method
Weather conditions can change quickly, and online information may be delayed or temporarily unavailable. Keep Wireless Emergency Alerts enabled, consider NOAA Weather Radio, and follow local emergency management, official evacuation orders, road closures, and shelter instructions. During dangerous weather, official warnings and local directions always take priority. Call 911 for emergencies.
