The National Weather Service is changing the language of their severe storm warnings. They have been using the word “Advisory” to indicate a chance of severe weather, but find it often gets confused with “Watch”. They would like your help to find a better plain language way to give the outlooks. You can help by taking their survey. The change won’t occur until 2024 because it’s the government, of course, but let’s help them make it as useful as it can be. You can take the survey at https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/HazSimp21.
