What is the Quiet Time feature?
Most of the alerts we issue will occur between 8:30 a.m. and 5 p.m. However, because weather alerts are automated and are delivered as weather events occur, you may select a range of hours during which you do not wish to be contacted. This feature, known as "Quiet Time." With the exception of tornado warnings, no weather alerts will be delivered to any device during the hours of 11 p.m. and 5 a.m. If you wish to further restrict the hours during which alerts are sent to you, please log into your account and set your own Quiet Time.To enable this feature, visit the “Severe Weather Subscriptions” under the “My Alerts” section of your profile.
