I have setup a new custom Weather Alert and SkyWarn Spotter Activation script through PHP and Twitter for Stark County, Ohio.

This project is currently in Live Beta Testing and I am encouraging anyone to “follow” the account; and if you wish, have them text messaged to your phone.

For now, this script will tweet any time someone views either of my WX-IMG for Stark County, which are currently used on many different websites.

This script will alert under any of the following conditions:

• Flood Warning
• High Wind Warning
• High Wind Watch
• Flood Watch
• Tornado Watch
• Tornado Warning
• Severe Thunderstorm Warning
• Severe Thunderstorm Watch
• Frost Advisory
• Freeze Warning
• Wind Warning
• Wind Advisory
• Wind Chill Advisory
• Blizzard Watch
• Blizzard Warning
• Winter Storm Watch
• Winter Storm Warning
• Winter Weather Advisory
• Any “Special” Advisory

• Spotters are encouraged to report
• Spotter Activation is expected
• Spotters have been activated
• Spotter Activation may be needed
• Spotter Activation will likely be needed
• Spotter activation is possible on “day”

“Day” meaning one of: Saturday, Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, or Friday.

I plan on setting it up to check for Weather Alerts every 15 minutes and Spotter Activation every 7 hours, This will help to make it more reliable and help to prevent spam tweets with the same message.
