As noted above in this thread – some northern Michigan zones have changed, specifically a few have been split into multiple zones in an effort for more accuracy in forecasting and alerts. This brings me to my question, how to set them up. I’ll give just one example here;
Mackinac County
County code is MIC097
Zone Code was MIZ015
This County has now been split into three zones
Western Mackinac – MIZ095
Eastern Mackinac – MIZ096
Mackinac & Bois Blanc Islands – MIZ097
Within the Settings.php and nws-alerts-config.php files setting up the various point forecasts is no problem, they appear to be working fine. Configuring for the NWS alerts is where my question lies.
This is what I had before the zone change (yes I am running a cron job).
"Cheboygan County|MIC031|MIZ017",
"Chippewa County|MIC033|MIZ088",
"Luce County|MIC095|MIZ007",
"Mackinac County|MIC097|MIZ015",
"Emmet County|MIC047|MIZ016",
"Presque Isle County|MIC141|MIZ018",
Now that Mackinac County has been split how should I configure it?
Like this to include the three new Zones Codes
"Mackinac County|MIC097|MIZ095|MIZ096|MIZ097"
Or something like this splitting each new Zone to a separate line?
"Western Mackinac County|MIC097|MIZ095",
"Eastern Mackinac County|MIC097|MIZ096",
"Mackinac / Bois Blanc Islands|MIC097|MIZ097",
Looking for some advice/suggestions.
Thanks
