nws-alert.php Processing a WWY as a Statement, not Advisory
« on: January 26, 2025, 12:18:15 PM »
Good morning! 

Have a Winter Weather Advisory up for the mountains in my county today, and for some reason nws-alerts.php is displaying this as a Statement (grey box and "Statement" big icon) rather than an advisory (Amber box, "Advisory" big Icon).

I should mention that I use Lat/Lon points, not zone codes, to define my [NWSalertCodes] array (66 unique entries... yeah.. I know...).  That didn't seem like something that would matter, but I swapped the coordinates out for the zone codes anyway, and that didn't help.
