[Xastir] Filtering for Weather

I've been using the new filtered ports to feed Xastir from the internet
servers. Very nice -- really reduces the amount of traffic.

I have been using the range or area filter, so I just see stations in a
local area. 

But I wasn't getting the weather stuff. So I added "t/n" to the filter
string to get the NWS weather information. After that I started seeing
the county alerts.

But I wasn't sure if I was getting the storm watch and warning boxes. So
I changed that to "t/nw" to get NWS and general weather information.
Shortly after that, a watch box showed up, but of course I can't tell if
it was the change to the filter that caused it or not.

So, does anybody know what Type filter I need to see the watch boxes? Is
"t/n" sufficient? Or do I need "t/nw"? Thanks.
