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.

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.

Needs More Information Gathered

Expression Sample value Notes
$twcweather.alerts.areaTypeCode "Z", "C" Returns "Z" 80% of the time
$twcweather.alerts.categories.category "Met" Metropolis??
$twcweather.alerts.categories.categoryCode "1"  ??
$twcweather.alerts.significance "A", "S", "W", "Y"  ??
$twcweather.alerts.disclaimer null  ??
$twcweather.alerts.eventTrackingNumber 0003  ??

$twcweather.alerts.flood

The dataPoint "flood" is usually null, but when there is an alert for possible flooding, then all of these dataPoints will appear:

Expression Sample value Notes
$twcweather.alerts.flood.floodCrestTimeLocal null  ??
$twcweather.alerts.flood.floodCrestTimeLocalTimeZone null  ??
$twcweather.alerts.flood.floodEndTimeLocal null  ??

$twcweather.alerts.flood.floodSeverityCode "N"  ??
$twcweather.alerts.flood.floodStartTimeLocal null  ??
$twcweather.alerts.flood.floodStartTimeLocalTimeZone null  ??

Important Alerts

It appears that these 5 dataPoints are connected, so this table is shown a bit differently than the above tables. To conserve space, the first three columns are marked with numbers that match this:

  1. phenomena
  2. productIdentifier
  3. eventTrackingNumber

Important Descriptions

It appears that these dataPoints are paired up, so these tables are shown a bit differently than the above tables.
