[Xastir] NWS Warning Maps

[Gerry Creager]

I can't do it before Monday (real bad connectivity 'til I get to 
Boulder) but I'll make shapefiles available for download from 
mesonet.tamu.edu for warnings, updated every 15 minutes (for mow, may 
make them more frequent depending on load).  Should have done that a 
long time ago.

I'll post the page.  These will be shapefiles, with names consistent 
with the type of short-term warning.  If I'm real good, I can also 
create a counties-outline shapefile, although we are now all officially 
doing storm-based (polygon) files.

I also believe that NWS now makes these available.  google for 'NWS 
warning gis' and see if that doesn't help.  Like this:
