My Fixed Locations

Setting locations for your assets allows you to access weather information for those locations quickly and easily. You are able to set and maintain up to six locations unless you are authorized for more. Your created locations are used in the Weather Viewer, alerts and the location monitoring features of Lightning Manager®. Alerting and Lightning Manager® are optional purchases.

Default Location

One of the locations you have created can be set as your default. Your default location will be used as the default for alert criteria settings and your daily forecast email. Alert criteria and recipient assignments for individual locations can be edited at any time.

User Tip:

Observed data will be provided by the surface observation site closest to your location. Forecast data will be provided by the forecast point closest to your location. Lightning Manager® will use the exact latitude and longitude of your location for monitoring.

 

If you are under administrator control your Account Administrator will create your locations.
