As part of WITN's commitment to bring you the most accurate and reliable weather information, WITN has instituted Weather Authority Alert Days.

We will announce a Weather Authority Alert Day whenever severe weather is imminent, BEFORE it affects Eastern Carolina.

This advanced warning will give you and your family time to prepare for a severe weather event, so you can remain safe as the severe weather hits.

How Will I Know When It Is A Weather Authority Alert Day?

WITN-TV will display alert messages, informational tickers along the bottom of the screen and provide live coverage during the height of the storms. Watch for the the following logo to appear on-air, on the web, and on your mobile devices.

What Should You Do On A Weather Authority Alert Day?

Tune to WITN-TV or visit WITN.com for regular updates. We will let you know when and where severe weather will strike -- before it happens and as it happens.
