Absolutely the best weather module out there. Hands down.
As someone who went to school for meteorology, weather runs deep in my veins. I know that we are already able to grab alerts from Wundergound, but is there a way to take those alerts further? I’m not sure if this would be an entirely new module, or just an additional feature.
The National Weather Service already sends out XML/RSS feeds all the way down to the county level. If there was a way to “watch” that feed and check for specific alerts, then make that show up on the mirror in red lettering (or something eye-catching) with an icon to go with it (thunderstorm, tornado, etc). Perhaps even scroll in a crawl like on TV news stations. Those XML files also contains specific parts. Title (Tornado Warning), description (Tornado Warning for Jefferson County until 9:45pm), and also narrative and preparedness statement. Finally, each XML file includes an expiration time.
I know that would take a lot of work, but it’s just something cool that could lead to more and more implementation over the long run. National Weather Service XML - Jefferson Co., KY

@c502 Thanks!

The initial xml doesn’t hold all the info:

This atom/xml feed is an index to active advisories, watches and warnings 
issued by the National Weather Service.  This index file is not the complete 
Common Alerting Protocol (CAP) alert message.  To obtain the complete CAP 
alert, please follow the links for each entry in this index.  Also note the 
CAP message uses a style sheet to convey the information in a human readable 
format.  Please view the source of the CAP message to see the complete data 
set.  Not all information in the CAP message is contained in this index of 
active alerts.

You’ll have to follow the links in the initial xml message to get the full info. You could probably use the newsfeed module as an initial startingpoint…

Hi RedNax,
Love your module and am using it ever since I have my mirror. One small thing though: WUnderground currently has two identical alerts (both “type”: “WIN”) for my PWS. This leads to the identical text being shown on the module. It would be great if the module checked whether an alert with the respective type already exists and only displays the warning once… The relevant extract from WUnderground json is as follows:

//	"alerts": [

@RedNax is it possible to disable these weatherwarnings?

strawberry 3.141 · Feb 26, 2017, 8:25 AM

@ostfilinchen try config option show_popup: false

ostfilinchen · Feb 26, 2017, 10:44 AM

@strawberry-3.141 i don’t mean an popup. I mean the weatherwarnings in the module

strawberry 3.141 · Feb 26, 2017, 12:02 PM

@ostfilinchen the alerttext gets prepended to the forecasttext in this if statement https://github.com/RedNax67/MMM-WunderGround/blob/master/MMM-WunderGround.js#L912 you can only disable the forecasttext in complete but not the alert only. For this you have to try to get a working css selector and apply the rule display:none;

trividar · Feb 27, 2017, 1:23 PM

The yellow warning “strong wind” shows the whole time. How can i disable this warning?

ostfilinchen · Feb 27, 2017, 1:23 PM

@trividar Same thing Here but with 3 Warnings
