The invention provides a system and method for receiving weather foreca st information in a mobile unit and using that information to warn a user of a future weather hazard with reference to the mobile unit's location and/or intended directio n of travel. A hazard location algorithm compares a forecast location of each mobile unit with a forecast hazard and transmits a warning to each mobile unit that is predicted to encounter the hazard. As the mobile unit moves, its actual position is updated in the forecasting center, and a revised warning is transmitted to the mobile unit. The hazard information ma y be displayed on the user's system in the form of a rotating map with an automatically adjustable range to display warning information in relation to tie system's location. Warnings, including audio warnings for playback and crawls for display on a television, can be automatically generated and spoken or displayed to a user.
