Revision as of 23:13, 4 August 2019
This page is currently under construction. I would wait a day or two before using the data found below.
As of Aug 4th, I have been unable to locate an official document for the weather alerts, so we have been gathering data the old fashioned way, and combining our findings on this page. If you get a unique alert in your location, you can contribute your observations in this thread.
Contents
Introduction
It appears that many of the codes go hand in hand with each other, so the format on this page is a bit different than the TWC_Weather page. For the most part, the "unknown" dataPoints are listed first, so they get the most exposure. These will be followed by the dataPoints that are likely the most useful. The final catagory will be dataPoints that rarely change.
