Multi-zone NOAA ATOM/CAP XML feed processor script

Curly of Michana Weather had developed an "all-in-one" program is available to display top warnings and full details from the ATOM feed provided by the National Weather Service

It is designed to handle several NOAA zones at a time and can be used with or without the Carter Lake template set.
Two sets of usable web pages are included along with a demo page, detailed instruction and a set of 72 icons.
Main features include top warnings, top warning icons, alert box and an XML page. Each alert type is color coded to its severity and has a small icon so it can be easily distinguished when there are several alerts for each zone. All alerts from NOAA's NWS ATOM/XML are accepted when available.

The script uses code borrowed (with permission) from Mike Challis to fetch the data and Michael(mth) of Relay Weather contributed some code, features and did extensive beta testing.
Because of the amount of zones that the script can handle, a cron job should be used to call the script. If your web host doesn't offer the ability to do crons, information in the readme file will guide you on how this can be done in a proven and reliable method. A "pseudo-cron" does not work and is not supported. PHP 5+ is required.

Curly has kindly allowed the scripts to be included with the Base-USA template set. You can also get copies for standalone use from my GitHub distribution.
