code • March 5, 2017

WeatherBot severe weather alerts

How it works

  1. If any alerts occur in the request, then loop through them.
  2. Get the title, start, expiration date, and link to the alert.
  3. Check the severity of the alert and assign an emoji (advisory :grey_exclamation:, watch :exclamation:, warning :bangbang:).
