Subject: experimental use of bulleted winter storm /WSW/ and non precipitation /npw/ watch... warning... and advisory products
Beginning December 8 2009 and ending may 29 2010... the Paducah weather forecast office /WFO/ will begin modifying the winter weather /WSW/ and non precipitation /npw/ formats to produce experimental bulleted watch... warning... and advisory products with a format similar to severe thunderstorm and flash flood warnings. These formats are easier for users to read and quickly gather vital information during hazardous winter and non precipitation events. During the test period... the Paducah WFO may temporarily revert back to the current format to maintain mission critical warning services.
A product description document /pdd/ for these experimental products... including a list of other affected wfos and examples of the bullet formatted WSW and npw products... are available at /use lower case/...
