How to Get Weather Channel Push Notifications in Wunderground for iPhone or iPad
If you used to use Weather Channel app alerts to monitor specific weather events, but now prefer Wunderground's push notifications, this wikiHow is here to help you. Assuming you have turned off your Weather Channel alerts, you can make Wunderground mimic your previous alerts easily.
Steps

Enable location services for Wunderground when asked. Enabling this setting will allow you to get weather updates without searching for your current location or city (a nice feature of Wunderground, over the Weather Channel). If you didn't receive it, you can go into Settings and make your adjustments instead: Open the integrated Settings app then tap Wunderground (probably down near the bottom after scrolling), tap Location and change it to Always (if it isn't already there).

Open up the Wunderground app on your iOS device. The app's icon has the letters WU on a black backdrop with a rainbow-bordered text of blue, orange and white.

The app will only display notifications for cities outside of your current location if you searched for them and found a station recently from that city under a confirmed city/station-search. On an iPad, for My Location, Global 8 doesn't work the way it's intended. Slide the switch, but when it seems to fail, go out by tapping the

Add other locations, if you'd like. Tap the "Add Location" button below this section and select other cities you may have recently viewed. As long as you searched for the location recently, they will appear here for you to set notifications for them. These special "other locations" are limited to just "Severe Weather Alerts" and those tied to the Global 8 and none other. Locations must be added prior to setting as a push notifications by searching for stations in that searched city.

Head back to your Settings menu to Save your new settings. Tap the
