Some come here just to get info and when they see people post in absolutes they take it at face value.

This goes both ways though.

It's also not helpful for folks to come on here and see people who aren't "weather weenies" (as you describe) spreading misleading information that they may also take at face value.

For all we know, people could have saw their post and decided to let their guard down in response.

Sorry if this comes across as harsh.
 
Is it just me or did the HRRR in the past two runs just ramp up the supercell and SIG TOR perimeters over central NC a good bit with this line coming through late tonight early tomorrow morning

Not harsh, just sanctimonious. If you look at her post, she was replying to another poster who was actually the one declaring things “over.”
 
What's makes them put a tornado watch over certain counties yet not others? Greenwood is outside the tornado watch yet the counties north/west are in it. Considering how long watches last you would they would include us. (Just curious)

The SPC collaborates with the local NWS branches to determines the exact locations for inclusion in a watch box.

They consider a number of factors, including radar trends, instabililty, forecast soundings, areas of best forcing/moisture, etc. If a county is just outside the watch, they're not confident enough all of the parameters will quite come together for severe weather in that location.

But with the nature of convection, it's not an exact science.
 
BTW, I know memories aren't always long when it comes to weather, but Newnan was just hit with tornadoes back in October (not even 6 months ago).
