New Storm Based Warnings

Starting this fall, the National Weather Service will change the way the organization issues severe weather warnings. Under the current system, warnings are issued for an entire county. The new warning system, the NWS will specify what areas in a county that could be affected by a severe storm. Local forecast offices have already been testing out the new warning methods over the last year.
