I think he use vMix triggers

here are some findings: firstly you need to filter the data from souce, cose there are so many alerts you dont need to show. we recommend following: https://fetchrss.com/ for data fetching. after that you need data automation and use https://ifttt.com/ and create rules wth RSS and google sheets. as the result you will get TXT file with automatical update and use this file in overlay in OBS.
We still working to find better ways, however the programming in OBS need to be done also.

Subscribing. This is something that would be great! I am scrubbing off the NWS local office website now and it is not clean at all. Being able to do weather or emergency alerts real-time text scroll would be awesome.

This is actually something that's already been made, it's called AtmosphericX. It basically recreates Ryan Hall's setup as closely as possible. The server is run locally, so you'll need to install a few things, but it's totally worth it. Alerts can be sent out both automatically and manually via the dashboard. There's a ton of features that would probably be too long to post here, but the GitHub has a full list of all of its features and the installation process.

Here's a preview of what it looks like:

Alternatively, since there's been some talk about RSS feeds on this thread, the NWS has a free, public API at https://api.weather.gov/alerts, and the documentation can be found here if you'd like to make your own alert ticker (which is what I did).


I can also help with questions if anyone has any.
Hope this helps!
