+Viewing severe weather alerts
+------------------------------
+When the alert plugin is enabled, AWeather will automatically shade each county
+that is under a weather alert in a color corresponding to the type of alert.
+
+For storm based warnings, AWeather will also draw a polygon representing the
+warning area.
+
+Individual alert types can be enabled and disabled by clicking on the toggle
+button in the alert tab at the bottom of the screen.
+
+To view more information about a particular alert, click on one the shaded
+county or inside the polygon warning area in the viewing pane. This will bring
+up the alert details dialog with a tab for each alert that is active for the
+location that was clicked.
+
+The alert dialog displays the alert title and valid time along with the text
+descriptions provided by the weather service. Clicking the "Full Text" button
+will open the full text of the alert in a web browser.
