Interactive weather advisory system
A broadcast network for selectively transmitting individualized weather output signals to at least one of a plurality of communicator devices remotely located from the broadcast network. The broadcast network includes a user input database containing a plurality of user-defined parameters with each of the user-defined parameters including a user profile. The user profile includes a user identifier code identifying a communicator device. An analysis unit receives spatial location identifiers and comparing the spatial locations with data to generate individualized weather output signals. A communication network receives the individualized weather output signals and transmitting the individualized output signals to the communicator devices.
