Watch-By-County: What Is It and How Will It Change Watch Presentation
Daniel McCarthy, NOAA/NSSL/SPC, Norman, OK; and J. T. Schaefer
For several years, the National Weather Service and NOAA Storm Prediction Center has been preparing for Watch-By-County, a.k.a. Watch Decentralization Phase I. Eventually, this will change Severe Thunderstorm and Tornado Watches from the familiar 4-sided parallelogram to a list of specific counties (parishes or independent cities) that are in the watch area.
This presentation will update the progress of Watch-By-County, how it will work and look to the broadcast media.
