Weather alerts section can be found by clicking on the Safety tab in the TMS dashboard and selecting Weather alerts.
The Weather Alerts page displays a map with various weather alerts, such as wind advisories and winter storm warnings, indicated by different colors. The alerts are grouped into three categories: Off, Active, and Unknown. Off indicates no active alerts in the area, Active shows ongoing alerts in real-time, and Unknown represents areas where the weather data is unavailable.
The map can be updated using the date filters. A drop-down button allows you to select All, Today, This Week, This Month, This Quarter, This Year, Yesterday, Last Week, Last Week to Date, Last Quarter, and Last Year time ranges. If those options do not suit you, click on the date next to the calendar icon and set it according to your needs.
