Hi Jim,
Unfortunately, this option is not wide spread and varies depending the NWS
offices. It doesn't surprise me either as I have seen a number of
differences around the area on who the NWS handles there skywarn programs
as well as the alerts. Going from the Twin Cities site to the Cleveland
site, you can see the big differences on how the branches are handling
their web sites and interfaces.
Thanks for the information, and good luck with your Weather Report program.
73,
Chris, w0anm
