Title: Weather Bullitens
Post by: Lightning on May 20, 2011, 02:22:17 PM

A couple of years ago, my local National Weather Service office issued "Significant Weather Alerts", which is just below the threshold of a Severe Thunderstorm Warning and the Significant Weather Alert message scrolled in orange at the bottom of the screen. They have since changed the name of this alert to a "Significant Weather Advisory" and this alert no longer scrolls on the bottom of the screen. Why is that and is it possible to scroll that particular alert again?

Significant Weather Advisories are issued under the product name of Special Weather Statement, and yes, we do carry/send them out.

So the next time my area is under such a Special Weather Statement/Significant Weather Advisory, if I am watching TWC, I should see the alert scrolling at the bottom of the screen?

Correct.
