1. A device, comprising:
- an antenna to receive ambient electromagnetic radiation;
a weather band radio receiver to receive weather alerts a network interface to receive information via a wide area wireless network, the information indicating whether another device within a predetermined distance has determined that rotation is present in a storm system; and
a processor to perform an analysis of the ambient electromagnetic radiation, to determine based on the analysis whether the electromagnetic radiation indicates rotation in the storm system, to initiate a first alert when the analysis indicates rotation in the storm system and a weather alert has been received and to determine whether to initiate a second alert when first information indicating rotation has been received from at least one first device within the predetermined distance and second information that does not indicate rotation has been received from at least one second device within the predetermined distance.

Abstract
Systems and methods to generate weather alerts are provided. A particular system includes a weather band radio receiver to receive weather alerts. The system further includes a processor to perform an analysis of the received electromagnetic radiation and to determine based on the analysis whether the electromagnetic radiation indicates rotation in a storm system. The processor initiates an alert when the analysis indicates rotation in the storm system and a weather alert has been received.
