Will the NOAA Warning Section pick up all warnings…non-precip, tornado, severe thunderstorm, etc or do you have to download thos e first one by one…Also, I noticied occasionally my zone for warnings changes to an incorrect zone number even with the remind button checked. Has that happened to anyone?..Thanks…Joe

This will take you to a weather page for your city. Up in the URL is the NOAA zone code we want:

The NOAA warnings are anything which is provided as an advisory. Here’s a very very long list:

Missing from this list (I’m sure there’s more) are Short Term Forecasts. These get issued “for weather trends during the next 1 to 6 hours. Normally issued only when precipitation or hazardous weather is occurring or expected in the next several hours.”
