Left clicking the button opens the Warnings Display panel, which shows the
current alerts that are in effect, which counties are involved and when the alerts
expire.
To view the full text of a warning, click on a line of the warning in the
Warnings Display text box and click View Msg.
To close the Warnings Display menu, click Hide.

toggle settings for display of NWS warnings.

with the appropriate color.
The fill color will replace your topo image.

for a county. This feature is intended for troubleshooting and should n

warnings. See section 2.6 for information on adjusting colors.
County Setup is an advanced feature used for testing purposes. You
should not use this feature without the assistance of a Baron Services

the previous FasTrac session, in the event that you are forced to close and
