Don't know bout the IGUP, but NWS stands for National Weather
Service....that's of interest to those of us in the USA for the most part.
One of the "things" going on with aprs here is the ability of aprs software
to interpret and show weather warnings as issued by the NWS and the use of
their "shapefiles" to overlay a map and graphically show the area for which
the warning/alert is being issued. I think they use a yellow overlay for
"watches" and a red overlay for "warnings" and they usually are issued by
county (or several counties) for a specific amount of time.
