Weather for OBS

Hey Guys,
I run a Weather Stream for a particular area of Alabama and Georgia that gets left behind by the major TV markets during severe weather events. I have been using OBS for several years. I am looking for a way to import severe weather alerts from the National Weather Service when a watch or warning is issued for my coverage area. The NWS does offer RSS and ATOM feeds. I’m looking for a way to have an alert pop up on the screen as soon as it’s issued or scroll at the bottom of the screen. Any suggestions?
Thank you in advance!

No. The desire is to have a background job checking a weather feeding service every few (minutes/seconds), and upon detection, in the background (via script or something) ping on the weather service, receive a TEXT STRING, perhaps save that string to a file, and then display that text string in a text box in OBS. No screen capture. Display of text data.
Can OBS grab a string of text from an internet https/RSS/something query, and display that text (if it exists) in the usual OBS text box?
