What version of Xastir? It has to be reasonably up-to-date to fetch the latest NWS weather alerts via the script, and to know how to display them.
Also: The weather server that I run is down right now. It is being rebuilt and may be back on in a week or so. It fills in the alerts that the other weather server run by another doesn't do.
