Known issues in the XML feed from NOAA:
† Effective times are being sent as always being the same as issued times by the NWS.
S.A.M.E. coding may sometimes be missing and the "Area" description must be used instead. This doesn't always match the proper county names.
Times from some offices are not sending the correct time-zone with them.
