Have you seen the severe weather alert polygons?  They look like fat
dashed lines, in red/white, yellow/green, that sort of thing.  That
format can be transmitted across the air and received on other
boxes.  All we'd need is a way to generate the format.

There's an add-on to UI-View to generate them, and of course WXSVR
generates them from the NOAA alerts.
