Two questions on your Severe Weather Alert script.
Could it be configured to play a .wav file when alerts are detected? A different .wav file for each level of alert?
Can it be run locally on a PC or server rather than on a website?

You can program it to display any HTML you like... like HTML which plays a wav file. Yes.
The script is in PHP... so it behaves like PHP (server based, executed when the page loads).
I think what you're looking for is either a NOAA weather radio (mine works great!) or Interwarn.
Personally, I'd go with the radio.

I do something similar. If the output for the script is a warning, I play my Weather Underground NOAA weather stream.
Something like...
if ($warning == '1') {
$playradio = '1';
}
... you would then just need to add code to play the stream (like the embed tag in html)

Nope. Got one of those also, but reception is flaky and warnings are sometimes delayed somewhat behind web based warnings.
Something like...
I don't know diddly 'bout no scriptin', so how would that look for a .wav file? And do I need to run some local version of PHP?
