As noted by Ken within another post, the NWS API is currently down.  I'm getting 502 errors for everything.

Is there a quick fix to turn off NWS alerts?

I edited Settings.php and added after the NWS settings:
// TEMPORARY QUICK FIX: NWS API down
$SITE['NWSalertsCodes'] = array();

but is there a better way to turn if off?

That should work fine.  No entries means no work for nws-alerts.php to do.
