Hi All,
OK, here is the script I ended up with. It took 4 lines instead of 3, I had to add lame to convert the mp3 format and sox to get the bit rate.
wget -Owx1.mp3 http://www.erh.noaa.gov/cle/mp3/CLESAFNW4.mp3
lame --decode wx1.mp3 wx2.wav
sox wx2.wav -c 1 -b 16 -r 8000 wx.wav
asterisk -rx "rpt localplay 28674 /etc/asterisk/wx"
rm wx1.mp3
rm wx2.wav
rm wx.wav

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.

Hi
Chris,
Here is how I got the local forecast.
Not all areas may have this feature, but for those who
have it, it looks like a 3 line script to get and say
the current conditions and forecast.
Go to your local NOAA office, in my case, Cleveland.
www.weather.gov/cle
scroll down to the "NOAA Weather Radio" button,
hit it.
It brings up a map of the weather stations in NE Ohio.
Mouse over on one of the stations, "Akron".
A pull down menu appears.
Click on "Local Forecast". A MP3 file plays,
your browser shows the URL.
http://www.erh.noaa.gov/cle/mp3/CLESAFNW4.mp3
I solved my initial problem with playing the WAV file, it
was a spelling mistake.
I am trying to convert the MP3 file to a WAV on the BBB with
SOX, but I get
the following:
[root at bbb-uniontown asterisk]# sox CLESAFNW4.mp3 -b 16 -c 1
wx.wav
sox FAIL formats: no handler for file extension `mp3'
Lame is installed, so the convert should work.
Thanks for your help so far.

Hi
Jim,
The localplay does not
support MP3 files. The wx scripts converting the MP3
file
to a ulaw file using lame and sox. I haven't looked
into
the MP3 files form the weather service. What do they
provide
and how do you determine the URL for your location?

I'm
using v1.2 of the BBB software. I get the MP3 file
directly
from the weather service web page using curl. I am
using
Total Recorder to convert MP3 to WAV. I thought
localplay
would play the MP3 or WAV file. That would be simpler
than
to a text to speech conversion.

I
have some additional questions for you. What
version
of
the BBB software are you using?What utility is
generating the MP3
file? What utility and options are you
using to convert the MP3 file to WAV? If you are
using
the
weather scripts that are available on the BBB
release?
You
not have to convert anything with the already
installed
weather scripts as it's done for you.

Hi
All,
I have a problem playing the MP3 audio from the
local
weather station CLE. I am running a BBB as a link to
the
local repeater. Everything is working, AllStar,
EchoLink,
Allison speaks the time. But, when I try to play the
weather
report MP3 file using localplay, the radio keys up
but
no
audio. I've converted the MP3 to a 16 bit, 8 Khz
WAV
file, but the same thing. Any ideas?
Thanks, JimK N8PXW
