Topic: How to get these NWS watch/warning social media images?

[UpstateWeather.com]

We've all seen these images from NWS that they put up on Twitter during watches, warnings, etc. I want to know if there is a place where they house these... can we use a script to pull them for our sites, etc? I've seen other people use these images (not just retweets) and wondering how I can get them. Any ideas?

From what I've found, there's little consistency in the graphics that each separate NWS office provides. I believe the graphic you posted came from the Charleston, SC office. I would suggest contacting someone there and ask about the availability of that graphic and whether it's linkable from your website.

I found it!

Looks to be an experimental product.

Thanks for the link, Jasiu.

One thing I'm seeing with these images is they aren't being put on this list instantly. I currently have 2 Tornado Warnings in Arkansas. It is taking 3-5 minutes AFTER the warning was issued that I would see the list updated with that warning. The images may be instant and are being put onto Twitter, but as for this list and for our usage, not so much.

They seems to be posting more timely now. Could have been a system glitch.
