Note: these values are updated every 2 minutes. The NWS server uses cache-control headers and timeouts to optimize response times.

MY_STATE = 'NC'
cap = NWSCAPParser('http://alerts.weather.gov/cap/{}.php?x=1'.format(MY_STATE))

for ID, entry in cap.entries.items():
    print('################################')
    print('ID=', ID)
    print('entry.id=', entry.id)
    print('entry=', entry)

    print('entry.severity=', entry.severity)
    print('entry.urgency=', entry.urgency)
    print('entry.certainty=', entry.certainty)

    print('entry.status=', entry.status)
    print('entry.msgType=', entry.msgType)
