CONVENIENCE ANDY...CONVENIENCE! Some of us are far too lazy to go to the SPC website (like me).

 

seriously -- i appreciate the condensing of information here -- most of us don't have time to refresh SPC every couple of minutes

Not sure how posting the stuff even bothers people that much. Even if you read it already on the SPC page, it's not like someone posting it here means you are forced to read it again.

While we may not need to post every single product/warning issued (say a random pop up storm out in WV that triggers a warning), posting AFD's/warnings/watches/MD's/SPS's/SPC outlooks/whatever can be useful for archive purposes.

For example, if one wants to go through the derecho thread from last June, they can better see how the day unfolded as most of the products issued through out the day were posted, from the afternoon when it looked like no big deal to after sunset when it was obvious how serious the situation was. Pooling such archived info together would be very difficult at best without it being posted in that thread.
