I have used this script. Works well.

MP3 Audio directly from NOAA! Updated URLs on 12-15-06
If you are in the San Diego NOAA Office area (and maybe others, check your regional NOAA Office homepage from http://weather.gov/), you can get an audio file of the current forecast for your zone and play it directly.
For the San Diego NOAA Office area, go to http://newweb.wrh.noaa.gov/sgx/ and click on the Audio selection under Forecasts. Get the URL of the audio file for your zone from the map.
Create an announcement in wav format from: http://www.research.att.com/~ttsweb/tts/demo.php
I like the UK-Audrey voice, but try some others too.
Make something like:
latest-forecast.wav “Please wait while I download the latest forecast”
select-weatherorvmc.wav “Press 1 for voicemail press 2 for the latest weather forecast”
You will have to convert the wav files from 16000Hz to 8000Hz
and maybe speed them up a bit (135%) and reduce the volume (60%) before
you use them. Put them in /var/lib/asterisk/sounds named latest-forecast.wav and select-weatherorvmc.wav
Add something like this to your extensions.conf (maybe in the rans section) to get the latest forecast when you dial whatever extension (like 865) that you choose.
My extensions.conf for audio weather:
exten => 865,1,Answer
exten => 865,2,Playback(latest-forecast)
exten => 865,3,System(/usr/bin/curl -s [http://www.wrh.noaa.gov/sgx/data/audio/LAXSAFC42.mp3](http://www.wrh.noaa.gov/sgx/data/audio/LAXSAFC42.mp3) > /tmp/LAXSAFC42.mp3)
exten => 865,4,Wait(1)
exten => 865,5,MP3Player(/tmp/LAXSAFC42.mp3)
exten => 865,6,System(rm /tmp/LAXSAFC42.mp3 -f)
exten => 865,7,Hangup
If you have trouble, make sure you have curl installed, change the path above if necessary. find / -type f -name “curl” will find your curl executable. I’m using MP3Player instead of Playback because I don’t have a sound card in the Asterisk box so mpg123 fails when it tries to use /dev/dsp. I suppose there is a way to have a dummy dev, but I don’t know how. If you do use Playback instead of MP3Player, don’t use the .mp3 file extension in your extensions.conf.

I know there is weather scripts for irlp. But I am not having any luck
for allstar. I am wondering is there anyone who has one is willing to
help build one. What I am looking for just a weather alert script for
the severe alerts. I don’t want a full blown weather forcast.
Any help appreciated
