Keith, I don't know how this works, but I get alerts even when I cannot tell that it's running (but it must be).
This is also true for one of my local news paper apps, which gives me "headline" notifications for breaking news, and it's definitely not running in any way that I can see it. Actually, the same is true for my Outlook app, which gives me calendar alerts, even when I haven't run it in days. There must be a way for apps to really be in the background, so that they don't show up even in the app switcher. I'll do some research on this to see if I can come up with anything definitive.

It tracks your current location, and also allows you to specify multiple locations for notifications. It also gives you a lot of weather and forecast info on screen if you want it, along with the severe weather alerts. You can also specify the types of severe alerts you want to be notified about. Supported by ads, which you can pay to remove, although with Voice Over I don't notice them at all.

I'm looking for where I can receive alerts for multiple locations. Thank you, Traci -- The following information is important for all members of the V iPhone list.
