I'll have to look at the formal Watch By County messages and see what
Dale's sending, maybe today. Options would be to take the parallelogram
(which I don't think SPC's issuing anymore) and seeing which counties
are included. Warnings by polygon will mention affected counties but
the vertices of the polygon are already published at the bottom of the
statement.

How does that affect us?
Are there any changes that need to take place in our code? Perhaps
the way we decode NWS alert packets or how we bring up alerts from
the Shapefiles? New Shapefiles to download when the switchover
takes place?
