Until now, Salina’s weather coverage has come from regional forecasts or feeds based in Wichita — and most local media still relies on alerts and data from the National Weather Service (NWS) in Wichita. That coverage is often generalized, delayed, or simply not built for the specific needs of our local towns.
That changes on April 14th.
Salina311 is proud to introduce Salina311 Weather, launching April 14th, a new system powered by The Weather Company, one of the most trusted names in weather technology. The forecasts and alerts you’ll see on Salina311 starting April 14th will be backed by trained meteorologists using the same professional-grade systems used by national networks — but focused directly on Salina.
These forecasts come straight from certified meteorologists at The Weather Company, an IBM Business, delivering unmatched accuracy and real-time insight.
Salina311 will be the only local media outlet in Salina offering this level of weather coverage — made possible through exclusive access to The Weather Company’s advanced tools, expert data, and real-time forecasting systems.
