Whether you need to know exactly when and where the next storm is going to hit or you need an accurate forecast to help plan the days ahead, you get the First Alert on 5/30.

First Alert 5/30 is not just a name.  It's a philosophy; the First Alert team takes a passionate and  vigilant approach to tracking exactly what's going on with our changing weather.  It's also an assurance that you've turned to the local weather team that delivers with an unmatched combination of technology and experience.  

Technology:  Having advanced tools to track storms and build forecasts is critical.  The First Alert team enjoys the benefits of a steady investment in the latest weather technology.  These tools, though, are simply data sources; they provide raw information.  The key unlocking that data - the key to making it useful to you - is the experience of the people using the technology.  

Experience:  Sorting out the data, bringing together different sources of data, and understanding what it's all saying requires experience.  Experience allows First Alert 5/30 to tell you a meaningful "weather story" - the who, what, when, where, and why of the weather today and in the days ahead.

The team that's "seen it all" is best prepared to anticipate what's going to happen next in any weather situation.  This local experience also provides judgement and reason - there's no "sky is falling" or "crying wolf" alarmism from First Alert 5/30.

The team of weather specialists that's been assembled here has more experience tracking Southern Colorado's weather than anyone else. 

Mike Daniels and Mike Madson both have more than 20 years of local experience. 

Craig Eliot has been tracking our weather here for more than 12 years. 

 

So, when the skies go dark and the next storm is rolling in, get the First Alert from 5/30.
