Xastir caches the weather alerts in files and rotates them like log
files.  It reads those on startup so that you don't have to wait for
them to come in again, assuming you've had Xastir on somewhat
recently anyway.

     ~/.xastir/logs/wx_alert.log
     ~/.xastir/logs/wx_alert.log.1
     ~/.xastir/logs/wx_alert.log.2
     ~/.xastir/logs/wx_alert.log.3
