Does 'weather' module broadcast the forecasting?

[MMRIZE]

As title,
Does weather module broadcast the notification? Old currentweather emitted, but not sure of the new module. Does anyone know?

@MMRIZE looking at code, it only has one sendNotification

	if (this.weatherProvider.currentWeather()) {
			this.sendNotification("CURRENTWEATHER_TYPE", { type: this.weatherProvider.currentWeather().weatherType.replace("-", "_") });
		}

so, I would say no

@MMRIZE @sdetweil The weather.gov API does generate alerts. Now whether you can make that happen in the weather module is well beyond my skill level.
I use the api to generate something similar to a key to generate the current weather and the forecast weather for local area using the MM weather module.

See the examples tab Weather API

@ankonaskiff17 we don’t process alerts like that

we get the data, for our display, and then send that out to any module that cares

@ankonaskiff17
I need weather information (current status or some days forecasting) to be used in my other module. For example, changing the background or colour theme by current weather status. or registering upcoming weather events on the calendar, etc…
It will be more efficient when the existing weather module data could be accessible instead of implementing another new weather parser for that purpose.

@MMRIZE and not calling the same data provider
