      I have worked with Meteorologist Jason Scott on adding US National Forecast, Tropical Forecast, Current SPC Watches and Life Threatening Weather Warnings to my Station. I wrote the Pal Scripts and assisted in how to Update The MP3 files as needed to Play on my station.. We were able to get this competed and I wanted to share this with anyone else who would like to add Weather Forecasts for FREE in your ON-Air Rotation. Jason updates the files at http://www.SevereWeatherForecast.com

      Here are the Pal Scripts to get the Forecasts ON-AIR if anyone wants to add them

      National & Travel at 20 Past The Hour

      Code:
      // BEGIN MAIN Jason Scott National & US Travel Play at Approx 20 Minutes Past The Hour
      PAL.Loop := True;

      PAL.WaitForTime(T);
      Queue.AddURL(‘http://www.severeweatherforecast.com/jasonscott/NATIONAL.mp3‘,ipTop);

      PAL.WaitForTime(T);
      Queue.AddURL(‘http://www.severeweatherforecast.com/jasonscott/USTRAVEL.mp3‘,ipTop);


      Tropical Forecast at 40 past the Hour

      Code:
      // BEGIN MAIN Jason Scott Tropical Play at Approx 40 Minutes Past The Hour
      PAL.Loop := True;

      PAL.WaitForTime(T);
      Queue.AddURL(‘http://www.severeweatherforecast.com/jasonscott/TROPICAL.mp3‘,ipTop);

      Current SPC WATCHES at the Top & Bottom of the HOUR

      Code:
      // BEGIN MAIN Jason Scott SPC WATCH, WATCH UPDATE & Discussion Play at Approx TOP & BOTTOM of HOUR!
      PAL.Loop := True;

      // WATCH WILL LOAD AT TOP OF QUEUE AROUND THE TOP OF THE HOUR!
      PAL.WaitForTime(T);
      Queue.AddURL(‘http://www.severeweatherforecast.com/jasonscott/WATCH.mp3‘,ipTop);

      // WATCH WILL LOAD AT TOP OF QUEUE AROUND THE BOTTOM OF THE HOUR!
      PAL.WaitForTime(T);
      Queue.AddURL(‘http://www.severeweatherforecast.com/jasonscott/WATCH.mp3‘,ipTop);

      Life Threatening Warnings Queue every 15 minutes

      Code:
      // BEGIN MAIN Jason Scott WARNINGS will Play every 15 MINUTES OR HOW YOU SET THE TIMES!
      // WARNINGS WILL BE TURNED OFF WHEN NO WARNINGS ARE BEING DISCUSSED
      PAL.Loop := True;

      // WEATHER WARNINGS WILL NOT BE ALL WARNINGS IN THE COUNTRY, JUST SPECIFIC DANGEROUS WARNINGS SELECTED BY JASON!

      // SELECT HOW YOU WANT TO AIR WARNINGS BY REMOVING OR ADDING THE //

      //PAL.WaitForTime(T);
      //PAL.WaitForPlayCount(3);
      PAL.WaitForTime(‘+00:15:00’);
      Queue.AddURL(‘http://www.severeweatherforecast.com/jasonscott/WARNING.mp3‘,ipTop);

        I’ve added a US country code marker, as this is an international site and the weather reports are only of passing interest to the Europeans on here. Its a good idea though and fair play for sharing it with all the online and community radio stations, its important to have a good source of reliable weather info…
