Alerts – Local Storm Reports – US (v2) - The Local Storm Report API provides short text reports of observed severe weather such as wind or hail damage, snow depth that is parsed from NWS Local Storm Report (LSR) and Public Information Statement (PNS) bulletins.

The Alert Headlines API also provides a key value found in the attribute to access the alerts detail in the Alerts Detail API.

Within the metadata section of the response there is a field named ‘next‘; if next equals null the user has received all the data and is done. If next is not null the user will make an additional call - the ‘next’ parameter will be set equal to the value found in next. Keep calling the API until next equals null.
