# National Weather Service

Help US citizens to prepare for extreme weather events by showing weather forecasts with real time data about severe weather, water and climate events.

Raise awareness for potential hazards across your Xibo Display network using data from the [National Weather Service (NWS)](https://www.weather.gov/)

{% hint style="warning" %}
Weather forecasts and warnings are for the United States, its territories and adjacent waters and ocean areas.&#x20;
{% endhint %}

The connector uses data from the provided NWS Atom URL feed. A custom Atom Feed format URL can be provided.

{% hint style="success" %}
Set **Criteria** when **Scheduling** to determine if the weather alert should be included in the Schedule Loop for supported Players. Setting the **Criteria Type** to “Emergency Alert” and the **Category** to “Met” will ensure that Layouts with NWS Elements will be automatically added to the Schedule Loop whenever an active **Emergency Alert** occurs.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://docs.xibosignage.com/kb/features/national-weather-service.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
