While I haven't rerally researched it, I'm under the impression that the raw
weather data is easliy obtainable from http://weather.gov. possibly via FTP
and is in an open, text format.

Should be easy to sent up a script/filter to download trhe current info and
then look for certain keywords.

Or am I mistaken?
