The "warn zone" should be 6 characters long. The first 2 characters are your 2 digit abbreviation for your state. The third character is always the letter "Z". The last 3 digits are always numbers. For example: "FLZ002" for Florida zone #2.

If the gadget detects a bad warn zone, it will add "bad zone:" to the beginning of what ever value you originally supplied for the "warn zone" setting". The warn zone setting is not necessary to find your severe local weather, however if you specify a warn zone code, the warn zone code will be used instead of your zip code. The warn zone code will provide better geographical warnings then a zip code normally can.
