I have noticed that NWS Weather Alerts aren't available via the REST API until they are active. The expected behavior here would be that they are returned after they are issued.
This is pretty standard behavior with most weather APIs and services as it allows for people to see the alerts in advance of the severe weather.
Are there any plans to modify this behavior and return the weather alerts as they are issued?

The somewhat recent addition of snowfall intensity to the hourly data is great but it's not super useful as currently provided.
If the values for snowfallAmount and snowfallIntensity were also returned for each minute in the NextHourForecastData block (https://developer.apple.com/documentation/weatherkitrestapi/nexthourforecast/nexthourforecastdata) then it gives devs the ability to graph projected snowfall amount in the coming hour.
Having showfallIntensity for for just the hours themselves isn't proving very useful, any plans to expand this information and perhaps provide it elsewhere? Specifically, for the minutes in the NextHourData?
