Combination of storm alert and temperature alert possible?

Is there a way to develop something like this:

a combination of storm alert and temperature alert (when using the external tempe sensor); for example, when changing 3hr/3mb and
3hr/5° C (etc.) that an alert is triggered? That would be more accurately determined than the now existing storm alert. Would be interesting for the fenix 3 and the epix, I don`t know if the fr920xt has got the storm alert....

The ConnectIQ API doesn't expose any temperature/pressure information directly. There is support for connecting to external ANT+ devices, and I'm pretty sure that you could write an app that talks to a Tempe sensor. Once you had the data from the sensor, you can do whatever you want with it inside the confines of the ConnectIQ API.

The issue is that the user would have to have this StormAlert application open in order for it to be able to get CPU cycles to read the Tempe data and do anything with it. The device couldn't be in watch mode or recording an activity at the same time, so the user would have to choose between having the weather alerts and having battery life and a watch. :(
