Audible Lightning/Thunder Alert

I check around for this unusual occurrence but could not come up with anything. Currently, I am utilizing a WeatherFlow Tempest (latest firmware) with Weather Display and have recently heard an audible lightning/thunder alert coming through my Windows desktop audio system. I double checked the Tempest station page (Tempest) and the Tempest app and found no such notification (no lightning in the last 2 days). To verify, I also checked the current radar AND GR Level 3 and no lightning even close (nearest strike 215 miles away at Juno Beach, Fl.). When I disabled cronweatherflow the alerts vanished , as expected due to the communication needed to “talk” to the Tempest station. Is there a setting in Weather Display that needs to be turned off/reset? Startled the heck out of me with headphones on, lol! Anyways, thank you for your patience and assistance.

one easy way is to delete the lightning.wav file

I guess I should make a setting to have it optional to play that sound file?

I thought the sound file was pretty cool, personally. It was odd that it started doing that. Take care and thank you VERY much for your help!!!
