Rick G Posted January 20, 2011 Share Posted January 20, 2011 This is the current map of warnings at BGM: Can explain why the lower counties in PA do not have the same warnings at the surrounding counties? all have very similar forcasts. the other coutites are from State College and Mount Holly. I am not a weanie, I just really want to know why. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rick G Posted January 20, 2011 Author Share Posted January 20, 2011 ok, that makes some sense and if I recall the criteria is in the middle of the prediced snow fall amounts. they moved up our predicted snowfall ammounts to a total of 4- to 7 inches. we just upgraded to a WWA.

WxTurtle Posted January 20, 2011 Share Posted January 20, 2011 All those counties that did not have flags raised are also under the BGM forecast area, the other counties are under State College, Buffalo, etc. When you see a big "hole" like that, I think it's safe to assume either A) the office isn't raising flags in conjunction with adjacent offices (timing-wise) or B.) are more bearish/bullish than other offices with a storm right at an advisory or warning threshold.

I always thought that they are trying to be super accurate on their flags. My concern is that schools who go by the flags listed may make a bad call. (not mine I have vacationt ime I can take if I don't want to go in). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
