AutoSkyWarn Version 5M is now ready for release. Available at http://kizzy03.wixsite.com/kf5vh/auto-skywarn
AutoSkyWarn (ASW) is designed to couple SkyWarn Operations with AllStar Servers / Nodes. ASW is a program / shell script (developed to run on the AllStar DIAL distribution for PCs) allowing an AllStar Server and Node to automatically report and announce about 50 National Weather Service (NWS) Warnings, Watches, Advisories and Statements as they occur.
You can
access the Overview and ReadMe1st first
documents at http://kizzy03.wixsite.com/kf5vh/auto-skywarn
and also on that site you can hear 3 sounds clips of messages
produced by ASW.
This release is for someone that has worked with UNIX/Linux systems as superuser. There are installation notes, but no step by step installation guide. (There is an effort to integrate ASW into the DIAL add-on/upgraded system.) The software requires Festival and SOX to operate.
I will be releasing copies of ASW (as a tarball) by email until a direct download is available. So after reviewing the Overview and ReadMe1st if you are interested in AutoSkyWarn please send me an email at
and please include:
