MMM-WeatherAlerts - granularity

Re: MMM-WeatherAlerts
@Gjones93 - Can you comment on how alerts are structured in terms of granularity of area? As an example, there are currently no alerts on the MagicMirror when location is set to lon/lat corresponding to Las Vegas, NV - which is in Clark County – while there IS currently a Flood Watch for “Western Clark and Southern Nye County”. I have tried modifying the lat/lon from a detailed level to a more general level (e.g.: “36.111111 / -115.22222” to “36.1 / -115.2”) to no effect.I recognize this is likely an issue with either how the NWS reports the alerts, or with how OpenWeather parses what it is getting from NWS - but I am hoping you understand how they operate, as I don’t see anything on either organization’s website that would help manage displaying which local/nearby/regional alerts are active…) A practical way to address this might be to specify location by county (since the NWS seems to be reporting it that way…), but it doesn’t look like the OpenWeather API supports that.
The practical effect of this is that I see no alert showing, while there is nearby significant weather. Thanks for the great module!!

@JohnGalt I’m having that same issue. Larger area alerts I get smaller area alerts I do not. There is currently 3 alerts in my area. Flooding, Severe Thunderstorm Watch and Severe Thunderstorm Warning, but when I get a larger area alert is shows up. It would be interesting to know more about this.
