Would there be any redundancy? If, maybe the same code ran multiple

duplicates, but a fault would result in the data still flowing?

There are predefined codes that correspond to shape files which can
be downloaded. Sometimes the codes match up with county names and sometimes
a NWS office has defined a more logical zone based on weather patterns for
that area. Not sure if you have a GIS or mapping background but
