National Weather Service

Help US citizens to prepare for extreme weather events by showing weather forecasts with real time data about severe weather, water and climate events. Raise awareness for potential hazards across your Xibo Display network using data from the National Weather Service (NWS).

NOTE: Weather forecasts and warnings are for the United States, its territories and adjacent waters and ocean areas. If you would like to use this Widget, ask your Administrator to enable the National Weather Service from the Modules section.

  • Can be used with the default URL for the NWS Atom Feed or a custom Atom Feed format URL can be provided.
  • Add from a variety of Elements to tailor visual representations in the Layout Editor for maximum impact.
  • Use industry standard filters to tailor messaging from returned data.
