Bug Description
The weather app has designs for handling weather alerts already, however they won't be implemented for some time. Currently TWC API has alerts in the data returned to the app. OWM seems to have multiple "station ids" that maybe should be looked at to perhaps get better indication of the current conditions.
I really feel that for the first cut of the app in the store we should take any alert and make it displayable as a red warning icon in the app that is clickable to display the warning text in question. This afternoon my current location was under a Thunderstorm Warning and getting such an indication when looking at the weather app seems pretty critical.

I humbly disagree with both points. 1) The reason I filed this bug is because a thunderstorm rolled through my area and the iconography still showed the area as being cloudy (because it was). 2) Alert features _should_ be duplicative, as alerts are supplementary to the features that are in an app, IMO.
