Get SMS weather alerts using OpenWeather and Twilio APIs

This automation fetches real-time weather alerts from the OpenWeather API and sends SMS notifications to specified phone numbers using the Twilio API.

It runs on a scheduled trigger every 6 hours, checking the current weather conditions and 24-hour forecast, and automatically alerts users about severe weather like extreme temperatures, storms, and high winds. The alerts provide a concise summary of the current situation and a 3-hour forecast preview, helping teams, families, or field workers stay informed and prepared for changing weather conditions.
