Geektool: Updated Hazardous Weather Warning Script

[WeatherWarning]

I wanted to post updated code for the hazardous weather warning script. The original script broke after NOAA redesigned their site.

The updated AppleScript is as follows:

tell application "Finder"
	set AppleScript's text item delimiters to ""
	set warn to do shell script "curl \"http://forecast.weather.gov/MapClick.php?lat=[YOUR LAT HERE]&lon=[YOUR LONG HERE]&unit=0&lg=english&FcstType=dwml\""
	
	-- count every warning!!
	set AppleScript's text item delimiters to "<hazard"
	set warn_string to every text item of (warn as string)
	
	set amo_warn to 1
	repeat with i in items of warn_string
		if (i as string) contains "headline=\"" then
			set amo_warn to amo_warn + 1
		end if
	end repeat
	
	-- getting the warnings
	set warnings to ""
	set warn_number to 1
	
	repeat until warn_number = (amo_warn)
		set warn_number to warn_number + 1
		try
			set AppleScript's text item delimiters to "<hazard headline=\""
			set temp_warnings to text item warn_number of (warn as string)
			set AppleScript's text item delimiters to "\">"
			set temp_warnings to text item 1 of temp_warnings
			set AppleScript's text item delimiters to ""
			set warnings to warnings & temp_warnings & return
		end try
	end repeat
	
	if warnings = "" then
		set warnings to " "
	end if
	
	return warnings
	
end tell

The script requires subscribing to the the XML from NOAA's forecast page for your area. On a typical forecast page, there should be a big orange XML button linking to the appropriate page.

The final product should look like this (with the Coastal Flood Statement being the hazardous condition):

Enjoy!
