Weather Impact Day versus a Weather Alert Day
I had a great conversation this morning as to why today wasn’t a Weather Authority Alert Day. I thought I would take the highlights from this conversation to answer the same question for you and explain the difference between the two terms.These are the types of weather that could have us canceling or changing our plans or adding protection to our plants and gardens. You will often hear us referring to these days as nuisance or disruptive.
What is a Weather Authority Alert Day? These are days that the effect of local weather could leave some with storm related damge.An increasing and verified moderate threat of Severe WeatherThe Particularly Dangerous Situation wording is used in rare situations when long-lived, strong and violent tornadoes are possible. This enhanced wording may also accompany severe thunderstorm watches for intense convective wind storms.
However, if there is something to be Alert about because of impending danger due to storms, we will remind you through updates on-air, online and our Weather Authority app. In a nutshell, weather on an Impact Day could have you changing your plans. Weather during a Weather Authority Alert or a Severe Weather Authority Alert could change your life.
