National Weather Service Alerts free WordPress plugin

The National Weather Service Alerts plugin allows you to easily display weather alerts on your website. The alerts are pulled directly from the National Weather Service (http://alerts.weather.gov) based on the location that you specify and are then parsed, sorted, and output to your website. The alerts are then automatically updated using AJAX, based on the severity of the alerts for the specified location. The location can be set by using zipcode, city and state, or state and county. There is also the option to choose the scope of what alerts to include, such as alerts only for your county, alerts only for your state, or alerts for the entire United States. If applicable, a Google Map will be included with polygon overlays to show the affected regions of certain alert types, such as tornado warnings or flash flood warnings. Currently the National Weather Service Alerts plugin only works for areas within United States. However, the plugin expects Atom feeds that use the Common Alerting Protocol (CAP) format so in theory any CAP feed could be used.
