RCNYILWX Posted December 13, 2013 Share Posted December 13, 2013 Hoosier, I tried to get some momentum going a few years ago to break Cook county up into 2 zones but it didn't go anywhere. Many situations where it would be nice if it was. WFO NYC has broken up many of their counties into 2 zones.

To solve the problem, we need to just go to polygon based warnings and advisories, which I believe is being tested or will be soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
