AI Weather Analysis: NWS Alerts, Radar Imagery & Home Assistant

This n8n workflow automates comprehensive weather monitoring by integrating National Weather Service (NWS) alerts, radar imagery, and Home Assistant precipitation sensors. Triggered via webhook with latitude and longitude, it fetches active severe weather alerts, local radar loops from weather.gov, and real-time precipitation data (e.g., 'Light Rain'). Using OpenAI's vision capabilities, it analyzes the radar image, then generates a family-friendly summary highlighting risks and conditions.

Key benefits include proactive family notifications during extreme weather, reducing reliance on manual checks amid volatile climates. It saves time by consolidating data from multiple sources into actionable AI insights, customizable for push notifications or integrations like Telegram/Slack. Ideal for homeowners with smart setups, it enhances safety without constant app monitoring.

Use cases: Daily severe weather tracking for households, integration into smart home dashboards, or community alert systems. Setup requires OpenAI API, Home Assistant credentials, and NWS-compatible lat/long inputs. Easily modifiable to skip HA or add outputs like email/SMS.
