Weather service changes storm warning system
Thursday, September 20th, 2007 PropertyThe National Weather Service is revamping the way it has issued severe weather warnings for decades with a new system designed to mark a geographic bull’s eye where a storm will hit. The system, which goes into effect Oct. 1, switches from alerts based on county lines to notices aimed at specific communities, weather service officials said Tuesday. Using radar and computer modeling programs, the system is meant to predict the moment a storm will hit a community or even a certain crossroads.
