For fun, I also pull in APRS stations from <a href="https://whitematter.tech/posts/sdr-research-stack/">my SDR rig</a>. It renders active alerts with VTEC parsing and polygon overlays, NEXRAD and MRMS radar with time-machine playback, severe-weather products from SPC including ProbSevere v3 and GLM lightning, aviation METAR/TAF/AIRMET/SIGMET, marine buoys and tides, USGS earthquakes, AirNow AQI, and a 7-day NWS forecast. It speaks CAP 1.2 to other systems, fans out severe alerts to Slack/Discord/generic webhooks, and supports VAPID web push for the browser.
