[arm-allstar] Version 1.3 Weather Script Howto

[Christopher Kovacs]

Hi Pierre,

No, the scripts parse the National Weather Server County alerts. It is very
specific and I don't plan to enhance the scripts to support Canadian alerts
at this time. It may be possible to use Advanced Message Queuing Protocol
with their python script, but at this time I don't have the time to
dedicate to this enhancement at this time.

73,

Chris, w0anm
