First Alert Doppler: Get the Early Warning
"First Alert" isn't just a name, it's a commitment to give you the early warning about all the weather headed our way.
You're assured the First Alert because the right tools are in the right hands. Mike Daniels and Mike Madson each have more than 20 years of experience forecasting and tracking storms right here in Southern Colorado. Plus, Craig Eliot's been covering your wake-up weather for more than 12 years.
This is the team that's "seen it all," which means they're best prepared to help you through any weather situation.
In those experienced hands, you'll find advanced weather tools. The newest addition is First Alert Doppler, the single most powerful piece of weather equipment Southern Colorado has ever seen.
It's the only radar in our area that's truly live - showing you storms where they are right now. The other stations still rely on government radars that can only show storms where they were 5 to 10 minutes ago. Don't settle for a history lesson - get the early warning with First Alert Doppler.
When you click the video link below, you'll launch a 1:40 video in which Mike Madson introduces the newest piece of equipment in their arsenal - First Alert Doppler.
