Would be nice to have my Tempest send an alert to my mobile device warning me of high winds or hail etc. Having to check my other weather apps defeats the purpose of having a Tempset.

Till now the Tempest does not ‘detect’ hail so it won’t be able to send any alert for that  
For the other option you can use IFTTT

there is no reason you won’t be able to get it going and in worst case there are very helpful people here to get you going.
