Andrew P. All Messages By This Member #2774 Here's a few details on seeing severe weather zones: 1. You will only get severe weather alerts (forecasts) if you have an APRS-IS connection with a geographical radius (r/ or m/) or area (a/) filter large enough to include the relevant areas. These messages have position information in them to affect the filtering by the APRS-IS server, and come from a single Internet server that pushes the data from the National Weather Service onto APRS-IS. 2. The shapefiles for the 3 categories of severe weather zones need to be copied into your configured YAAC map tile directory. Just downloading them isn't enough if you don't unpack the .zip files into the correct directory. 3. You have to have Severe Weather Zones enabled on the View->Layers submenu. Note this won't prevent the zones from appearing in the Severe Weather table. 4. There actually have to _be_ severe weather events for the notifications to go out. Note that it is possible to see other weather data that looks like severe weather alerts, but isn't. These are APRS Objects describing actual weather (such as thunderstorms, tornadoes, flooding, etc.), not forecasts, which also come from the APRS-IS, and commonly have NWS multilines attached to the Objects to draw polygons around the affected area. Rendering of the multilines is controlled by a different menu choice, View->Layers->NWS Multilines. These Objects do _not_ appear in the Severe Weather table, but will appear in the Stations/Objects List. Hope this helps.

T W All Messages By This Member #2778 Hi Andrew, thanks for the info. I do have further questions though. Are there instructions for configuring an APRS-IS connection for NWS weather alerts? Where can I get the shape files?

Mike NZ4K All Messages By This Member #2887 I am having an issue too, but it is the following message when I select view -> severe weather zones : ? There are no DBF files containing forecast zone definitions. Download them from https://www.weather.gov/gis/AWIPSShapefFiles and unzip them into your configured YAAC tile directory, then it lists my directory. I did download and unzip all 3 files, county, zone, and marine into the tiledir.? ? What did I miss??
Brian Webster All Messages By This Member #2941 开云体育 Shape files have multiple files with the same name but different extensions that all need to be in the same folder. Usually you have a .shp, .dbf and a .prj file all by the same name in the same folder for the program to properly read and display the shapefile. ?
