Tom,

Just be sure you've picked the right station for your area.  One day, I kept 
getting weather alerts every fifteen minutes or so, which didn't make sense 
because the warnings they gave were for locations several miles away.  When 
I checked to see what station I had, sure enough, it was the wrong one. 
Fortunately, once you select the station, it doesn't change unless you 
change it.

Steve
