This change will result in the discontinuation of all "Advisory" headlines within what is currently the NWS Watch, Warning and Advisory system. Most of the current Advisory headlines will be replaced with plain language headlines that clearly articulate the nature of the hazard. Current "Special Weather Statements" (SPS’) will also be discontinued in favor of plain language headlines. NWS is now collecting public comment on options for the plain language that will replace the Advisory and SPS headlines. The survey is available at the following link and will remain open through July 31, 2021: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/HazSimp21 A slide set highlighting public and partner feedback supporting this decision and providing case examples demonstrating how the messages will change is at this link: https://www.weather.gov/media/notification/haz_simp_slides.pdf A set of frequently asked questions with responses as it relates to the planned changes is provided here: https://www.weather.gov/media/notification/haz_simp_faq_sheet.pdf Additional details on the change may be found on the "Revamp Progress" tab of the project website. Detailed reports on the numerous social science- based engagements may be found in the "Reference Materials" tab: https://www.weather.gov/hazardsimplification/ Questions and comments can be directed to the NWS Hazard Simplification Team at: [email protected] National Service Change Notices are online at: While I do applaud the NWS for trying to simplify their alerts, most of the confusion seems to be Watch vs Warning. “Watch” ultimately tells me nothing and should really be replaced with “Advisory”, because that’s all it is. “Warning” is obvious and should remain. In my opinion, “Tornado Advisory” not only sounds better, but it’d give the general public a better understanding of the situation than “Tornado Watch” currently does.

What does the general public do differently if there's a heat advisory vs if there were none? I wonder if headlines for things like heat aren't more for emergency management than for the general public. Deciding whether to open up municipal cooling centers, etc. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Figured days are getting shorter, the heat in the west is subsiding and so is the heat in the east. I think we’ve peaked here. Don’t get me wrong we can get to 100 soon or later but the real brutal feeling that we’re experiencing right now is the peak! 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
