30050403: SPC watch-by-county code?



Gilbert,

I provide a program called "fips" in the GEMPAK distribution which will
search for a zone or county fips/ugc line and send the bulletin
to a mail list if the bulletin matches. The mail subject line will
identify the type of bulletin that is sent.

The program expands range lists etc. Examples from pqact are:


################################################################################
# FIPS zone county identifiers mailed automatically
#
DDPLUS  ^(WW|WR|WU|WF|RW|WG).* (KDEN|KBOU) ([0-3][0-9])([0-2][0-9])
        PIPE    -close  decoders/fips COZ039 COC013 address1,address2,...etc.
#
DDPLUS  ^(WW|WR|WU|WF|RW|WG).* (KILM|KCHS|KCAE) ([0-3][0-9])([0-2][0-9])
        PIPE    -close  decoders/fips SCC043 SCZ046 address@hidden
