[edit] Colors of the Hazardous weather statements table
Ouch. The orange and yellow scheme is rather severe. Since there has been some conflict about reverting this change, I'm asking Tawker or 24.214.57.91 to revert back to the original color scheme. -- Kenheut 23:56, 6 January 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Scope of this article
This article was developed to establish a more comprehensive and consistent article to replace several short stubs. This article is about how the U.S. National Weather service defines such terms within the United States, i.e. what does the NWS mean when the NWS issues a tornado warning. It is recommended that other definitions be clearly differentiated from the NWS definitions, or placed in separate articles as appropriate. Please cite sources for all NWS terms. Thanks. --Wyatts 16:01, 13 August 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Consolidation
Nearly all the articles in this category are very short, definition-type articles that do not seem to warrant separate articles in an encyclopedia. It might be better to expand the article on Severe weather terminology to include all of these terms/definitions. That would result in a single, substantial encyclopedia article, rather than a lot of short definition-type articles. Each existing article would then need to be redirected to the main article.
Right now, the Severe weather terminology article does not contain everything and needs some clean up, but could easily be expanded/improved.
Comments on this suggestion would be appreciated. If there are no objections in the next week or so, I will go ahead and do the merge. --Wyatts 16:01, 13 August 2005 (UTC) (forgot to sign earlier)
I'm confused with the severe local storms. Many of these seem redundant. If there is a reason they are there we should have an intro to explain what that section is for. -- BMIComp (talk, HOWS MY DRIVING) 01:35, 29 August 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Fujita Scale
Can someone please note the upcoming update to the Fujita Scale (F-Scale) to the Enhanced Fujita Scale (EF-Scale) which goes into effect February of 2007?
[edit] Beaufort Scale
A table is given, but no Beaufort numbers, nor how they relate to small-craft advisories and warnings. Cwolfsheep 20:10, 27 June 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Fujita Scales
I will soon add the EF-scale to the page. The old F-scale also needs some touchups. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Stormyboiler (talk • contribs) 02:15, 3 March 2007 (UTC). Stormyboiler 02:15, 3 March 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Snow shower
I merged in the defintion of Snow shower from the Snow shower article, which I've now redirected here. I added it to the list of general weather conditions as defined by the NWS, even though the definition I added was not from the nws. Because it wasn't, I stuck it at the bottom of the list, out of alphabetic order. This ought to be fixed up. I tried looking at the nws website to find their definition of this term, but couldn't find it. Such is life. --Xyzzyplugh 14:22, 5 April 2007 (UTC)
I added the NWS defeniton of Snow shower. A Snow shower is actually a mod-heavy, brief, localized snowfall.Stormyboiler 00:14, 7 April 2007 (UTC)
