[arm-allstar] Weather alerts announcing every minute...HELP!

[David McGough]

Hi Everyone,

The AutoSky script is set to run every 4 minutes (see the file: 
/var/spool/cron/root). If the weather conditions are changing rapidly, 
AutoSky might update the message played at each 4-minute interval. When 
the conditions change, an announcement is usually immediately made.  Then, 
that same announcement will get played as a tail message. So, 
theoretically, there could be many announcements close together during 
rapidly changing storms.

We'll take a look at a solution for excessively frequent announcements.
