MeshWX watches National Weather Service weather alerts and FEMA IPAWS public safety alerts, then broadcasts the warnings that matter over Meshtastic, MeshCore, or both. One self-hosted dashboard keeps your local mesh informed when severe weather or a local emergency develops.
MeshWX keeps separate histories for NOAA weather and FEMA IPAWS alerts, shows both connected radios, and records every message sent to your local mesh.
Use a dedicated weather channel or the channel your group already monitors. MeshWX handles formatting, deduplication, updates, and cancellations.
Broadcast the same alert through a MeshCore USB companion radio, side by side with Meshtastic or on its own.
MeshWX can also monitor FEMA's Integrated Public Alert and Warning System and broadcast selected public safety alerts to your mesh.
Enable only the IPAWS categories that matter to your area and keep weather alerts separate from public safety traffic.
MeshWX tracks IPAWS alert identifiers and references so updates and cancellations can be broadcast instead of leaving an old warning hanging on the mesh.
MeshWX fits naturally into community and emergency communications systems that already use low-power LoRa radios.
Explore the open-source project →Add useful, automatic traffic to an existing Meshtastic or MeshCore community.
Give groups another path for weather warnings, evacuation notices, shelter-in-place orders, and other official public alerts.
Share critical weather and public safety information across properties where cellular coverage is weak.
Keep organizers and participants aware without depending on every phone having service.
Connect Meshtastic, MeshCore, or both. Each radio gets its own USB port, alert channel, repeat settings, and test control.
Select counties, alert sources, and alert types from the interface instead of wrestling with zone codes or CAP data.
Long weather and IPAWS bulletins are reduced to the event, location, instruction, and expiration time within a 195-byte limit.
MeshWX remembers what it sent, only rebroadcasting meaningful updates and cancellations from NWS or IPAWS.
See connected radios, NOAA and IPAWS histories, transmission history, current coverage, and seven-day activity at a glance.
MeshWX polls the NWS and FEMA IPAWS feeds for the counties, forecast zones, and alert categories chosen in the dashboard.
Only enabled alert types move forward, then the key details are compressed into a clear mesh-sized message with updates and cancellations handled correctly.
The alert is sent through each enabled radio and appears in the channels monitored by local users.
