New Sun Weather Text Alert service debuts
Looking for someone to let you know when a dangerous storm is approaching? Curious about the weekend forecast downy ayshun? Could you use an afternoon reminder of what the forecast looks like for tomorrow?
If so, just sign up for The Baltimore Sun's Weather Text Alert service, and we'll keep you posted via your cell phone. It's brand-new, and here's what we're including:
1. A daily forecast for tomorrow's weather, sent out seven days a week at 4:30 p.m.
2. The Friday forecasts, through Labor Day, will include a separate beach forecast.
3. Breaking Weather Alerts during our business hours for Baltimore and the five surrounding counties, plus Ocean City in summer, including Weather Warnings for flash floods, tornadoes, winter storms, temperatures at BWI above 95 degrees or below 10 degrees and broken records. (This is not a substitute for a NOAA Weather Radio.)
It's easy to start, and easy to stop.

What happened to the weather page? Not only is it more dificult to read, but where is the archived weather data and yesterday's high? It looks like we've gone backwards again.
FR: Please see the posts and comments on the topic from the past week. They may help you become better acquainted with the new and expanded features on the page. The new weather page is still rolling out, and the archived weather data will be back shortly. Thanks for your patience. In the meantime, you can check rainfall and other data for downtown Baltimore at The Sun's own weather station: http://www.wunderground.com/weatherstation/WXDailyHistory.asp?ID=KMDBALTI25
