Ian Posted March 12, 2014 Share Posted March 12, 2014 We have to be the most overwatched/warned area in the country. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CheesyPoofs Posted March 12, 2014 Share Posted March 12, 2014 When in doubt go with CYA around here.At what point do you worry about watch/warning fatigue for the general public though? I'm not trying to bash the SPC/LWX in regards to watch/warning issuance, but a watch for this evening seems a bit much, and the same goes ffor many of our watches in recent years.

MN Transplant Posted March 12, 2014 Share Posted March 12, 2014 We have to be the most overwatched/warned area in the country. I don't think it is even a question. Would be an interesting stat to see, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not trying to bash the SPC/LWX in regards to watch/warning issuance, but a watch for this evening seems a bit much, and the same goes ffor many of our watches in recent years. Good question.. we prob should already. Last year wasn't even that active but you can see our area had a max in the region of both svr (sans PA which had a few "derechos") and tor watches: I can only assume several things including the high population density leading to more watches than would otherwise be issued, plus it must help with verification scores? To me if you expect just a handful of warnings or a two hour window of potential it might be best to go unwatched. Though perhaps I'm thinking about it wrong. But, even with a few warnings in most cases you're going to get very isolated true severe conditions. I think it's probably LWX pushing SPC to include our region in cases like this. Looking at current conditions it seems more warranted to the south but probably could have been left out of this area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wxmeddler Posted March 12, 2014 Share Posted March 12, 2014 Could probably cook up something through IEM data.. not quite sure how to go about it though. Fairly easy with GIS.. Might have time next few days or over spring break. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

T. August Posted March 12, 2014 Share Posted March 12, 2014 The winds have been far from impressive so far. Hoping they'll pick up soon. For what it's worth, the clouds are really starting to break apart to the west. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NorthArlington101 Posted March 12, 2014 Share Posted March 12, 2014 Looks like a bow echo forming north of Batlimore. Wouldn't be too surprised to see a warning go up there. Radar looks pretty meh for DC. Was hoping for good lighting/rain/wind combo today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
