If an alert is issued by the National Weather Service, a user who has the system turned on first hears an alarm, and then sees a red-bordered box pop up on the screen, warning of a tornado, flood or other threat. Users not interested in receiving the warnings can turn them off. (AP 1 Nov 2000) http://news.excite.com/news/ap/001101/16/pop-up-weather
