They come from the internet, from Dale Huguley's WXSVR program.

You can send some of the alerts over RF by adding the specific NWS
stations to the ~/.xastir/data/nws-stations.txt file.  Objects won't
get sent though.  I don't think the bounding boxes will get sent
either, but I might be wrong on that.

To see them in Xastir you just have to be hooked to the APRS-IS
somewhere.
