There are some of the NOAA weather radio stations that can be heard
online; I just discovered that our weather station here in Madison is
one of them though this may be fairly new because it wasn't one last
time I checked. It's an m3u playlist file that will download but you
want to open it in realplayer rather than VLC as it's choppy on VLC
at least on my computer. when it first starts up it says you'll hear
the weather through one speaker and the storm tracker in the other
speaker; since there aren't storms right now I can't tell what that
will be like. I realize this still doesn't give you an alarm but
still thought you might be interested. The list of stations with
online audio available is at
www.nws.noaa.gov/nwr/streamaudio.htm
The stations that carry this online are apparently repeater/relay
stations run by universities or private companies and so the audio
stream itself is not controlled or managed by NOAA.
