Weather Alerts: WJBF Viper 6 provides fully automated weather alerts right on your phone, simple to use and more specific than weather sirens, with a lead time of up to 15 minutes before the storm hits. You can set up for sixteen places to be monitored for severe weather, including your smart phone's current location, so you always know what's coming.

Choose to receive any or all of these alert types:

- Special WJBF Vipir 6 alerts:
• Storms Entering Your Area
• Dangerous Storm Approaching
• Twisting Storm Approaching

- National Weather Service storm-based Warning:
• Tornadoes
• Severe Thunderstorms
• Flash Floods

Featuring the Baron Tornado Index: The Baron-exclusive alerts are accompanied by a simple 1-to-10 ranking on the likelihood of a tornado with the approaching storm cell. Called the Baron Tornado Index (BTI), this ranking is more local and accurate than regional alerts.
