Weather computer Program

[flyersfan0044]

Hello all, first message on here. I was just curious if anyone knew of a computer program that had scrolled a severe weather crawl on the bottom of the desktop when a warning or watch has been issued. Weather Depot has exactly what I want, however being a poor college kid paying off his tuition, its hard to pay the subscription fee every month. Does anyone know any FREE programs that I can download that have this? Or does anyone have any idea how I can go about making this computer program? I tried making one, but it was a huge failure. Thanks for any assistance.

Check out The Weather Channel. I think they have something like that on their website.

Welcome, by the way!

My local new stations provide them. Its called a desk top alert. It beeps and flashes in your system tray in the corner when there is a severe weather alert, mine also does breaking news. Best feature I like is it also puts the current temperature next to your time. Good luck, and welcome to the boards!

Local Stations, Weatherbug or Weather Channel all have some sort of alert.
