They're discussions have all alluded to the uncertainty. I guess better safe than sorry. Reminder, we weather people look at, and hang on each of their words and forecast graphics... the general public doesn't take this stuff nearly as seriously and if they decide to downgrade, it's not going to cause mass hysteria.
But I would argue it will lead to people letting their guard down in the future because forecast is likely to not live up to potential. Because people like Scotty Powell are screaming on the top of their lungs on social media saying enhanced risk for foothills. Oh well
Honestly, you have no idea if SPC and the local NWS offices aren't talking internally...most likely they are. Most people don't read the discussions and there is plenty of time to adjust as needed.I disagree with SPC. They should have worked with local NWS such as Blacksburg and Raleigh because they would have not agreed for such an outlook. Thankfully there is time for it to be downgraded tomorrow at least.
The SPC did this with the last event that stayed to the South. To be fair, they know what they're doing though... you don't just get to the SPC for you know, getting a basic meteorology degree.
Well, the last few years we have had more severe storms around here when we are not under a watch of any kind. And then there are times that places have had tornadoes and severe storms before they put a watch out.
It's almost like people still believe a watch or warning will control what the weather does.
I see this constantly:
"No winter storm watch? the models must be wrong and it won't snow"
"No moderate risk, cape must not make it here."
"Surprised they didn't issue a tornado warning for that cell, that must not be a debris ball on radar then."
No one said it controls the weather. But it is up to the SPC to warn the public and they are the ones to issue the watches and warnings.
Did you read the Raleigh AFD?I disagree with SPC. They should have worked with local NWS such as Blacksburg and Raleigh because they would have not agreed for such an outlook. Thankfully there is time for it to be downgraded tomorrow at least.

Nope your not forecasts do not suggest widespread enhanced tornadoes in the GSP viewing area. Feel free to use tropical tidbits to see the strato rains tomorrow early 5am into the afternoon.The GSP afternoon AFD doesn't mention the word "tornado" a single time. Am I missing something?
