<title>[Info] Free wireless emergency messages</title>
<link>http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,28374220</link>
<description><![CDATA[Looks like a handy thing for smartphones. Several major carriers are participating.

Imagine this: You&#146;re driving down the highway, humming along to your favorite tunes, when the cell phone stowed in your bag suddenly makes a strange noise. To investigate, you take the next exit and safely pull over to check the screen. Good thing you did: Your phone just alerted you to a tornado a few miles away in same county you&#146;re driving through. ... 

Wireless Emergency Alerts (WEA) are emergency messages sent by authorized government alerting authorities through your mobile carrier. Government partners include local and state public safety agencies, FEMA, the FCC, the Department of Homeland Security, and the National Weather Service. ...

This service is offered for free by wireless carriers. WEA messages will not count towards texting limits on your wireless plan.

<title>Tropical Storm Andrea</title>
<link>http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,28354195</link>
<description><![CDATA[Andrea now gets her own topic since she managed to get herself named.

She looks to be primarily a rain maker for Florida and perhaps up the East coast. 

As of this writing a squall line is approaching the SW Florida coast. 

Discussion from NHC
Satellite imagery indicates that the structure of Andrea has not
changed much over the past few hours. Most of the deep convection
remains displaced in bands and clusters well to the east and
southeast of the center due to approximately 25 kt of southwesterly
shear. The initial intensity remains 35 kt and the central pressure
of 1002 mb is suppored by a recent observation of 1003 mb with 20
kt of wind from NOAA buoy 42003. Another Air Force Reserve
hurricane hunter aircraft will be sampling Andrea overnight and
provide information on the intensity and structure of the cyclone. 

While Andrea will remain in a marginal environment for strengthening
as a tropical cyclone...baroclinic forcing ahead of an upper-
trough will begin to affect the system in the next 24 hours. This
forcing should result in some deepening from a pressure
standpoint...but little change in the peak winds is expected before
or after Andrea becomes extratropical in about 48 hours. 

The initial motion estimate is an uncertain 010/05...given the
relatively recent reformation of the current center earlier today. 
A gradual acceleration toward the north-northeast and northeast is
expected during the next couple of days ahead of a mid- to
upper-level trough that is moving into the eastern United States.
While overall the global models are in general agreement on this
scenario...there remain some sizeable differences in forward speed.
In particular...the GFS remains quite fast and shows a somewhat
discontinuous track of the low compared to the ECMWF and the ECMWF
and gefs ensemble means. The new NHC forecast is close to the
previous one and is relatively close to the ECMWF through the
period. 

  
Regardless of the exact track of the center of Andrea...the
primary effects are expected to be heavy rainfall across much of the
Florida Peninsula...storm surge flooding along portions of the West
Coast of Florida...and isolated tornadoes overnight and Thursday
across the Florida Peninsula.

<title>2013 Tropical Events  (the stuff before it&#x27;s a &#x22;storm&#x22;)</title>
<link>http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,28350993</link>
<description><![CDATA[This seems to have worked fairly well at keeping the forum clear of clutter, by posting the Investigations for the season in a single topic. Then switching a storm to it's own topic once it develops and poses a threat to those of us watching the forum. ]]></description>

<title>[Tech] radar tool for linux</title>
<link>http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,28110640</link>
<description><![CDATA[i'm not sure if this has come up before or not -- my google-fu on the site is not showing anything -- but i'm curious to see if there is any answer.

i have used grlevel3 in the past on my windows systems and have enjoyed what it brings to the table.  i have (in the past) hooked it up to a 32" lcd tv that i have mounted on the wall in my office during severe weather so that i can track it while i work.

fast forward a few months -- and i've ripped out the windows box for a linux laptop and i'm looking for the same functionality (natively in linux, ideally).  has anyone found a good weather radar package for linux with similar (or even slightly less) interfacing and functionality as the packages for other platforms?

i do have a windows server 2k8 vm that runs on the linux laptop -- performing dhcp, dns, and print-server duties, and i can revert back to windows software if needed -- but i'd like to find something linux-based (even pay for use is ok -- i just want the linux native stuffs).

thanks!

<title>Radar app for iPhone, Need suggestions.</title>
<link>http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,28334796</link>
<description><![CDATA[Hello all,

Can anyone point me in the direction of a decent radar app for iPhone?

The TWC app radar is terrible & frustrating. 

Free would be ideal but taking suggestions for paid as well.

Thanks for your time.]]></description>
