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['XX:18:00']);
Queue.AddURL('http://www.severeweatherforecast.com/jasonscott/NATIONAL.mp3',ipTop);

PAL.WaitForTime(T['XX:18:00']);
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

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!

//PAL.WaitForPlayCount(3);
PAL.WaitForTime('+00:15:00');
