First Claim
1. A broadcast network for selectively transmitting individualized weather forecast signals to at least one of a plurality of communicator devices remotely located from the broadcast network, the broadcast network comprising:
- a user input database containing a plurality of user-defined parameters with each of the user-defined parameters including a user profile, the user profile in each of the user-defined parameters including a user identifier code identifying a communicator device associated with a particular user;
a communicator location database containing real-time data indicative of the spatial locations of the communicator devices;
a weather analysis unit comparing the spatial locations of the communicator devices contained in the communicator location database with at least one of real-time weather forecast data and weather data; and
a communication network receiving individualized weather forecast signals from the weather analysis unit and transmitting the individualized weather forecast signals to the communicator devices identified by the user identifier codes.

Abstract
A broadcast network for selectively transmitting individualized weather forecast signals to remote communicator devices. The broadcast network is comprised of a user input database, a communicator location database, a weather information database, a weather analysis unit and a communication network. The user input database contains user-defined parameters and each of the user-defined parameters includes a user profile. The user profile in each of the user-defined parameters utilizes a user identifier code and identifies a communicator device associated with a particular user. The communicator location database contains real-time data indicative of the spatial locations of the communicator devices. The weather information database contains real-time weather forecast data or weather data for the spatial locations contained in the communicator location database. The weather analysis unit repeatedly compares the spatial location of each communicator device contained in the communicator location database with the real-time weather forecast data or weather data and generates an individualized weather forecast signal.
