Warning credibility matters. Accuracy matters. The goal should be getting people to act when it counts and not wearing them down with alerts that rarely verify.

[Chris Phillips @Chrisweather]

We continue to over-watch and over-warn systems that never come close to severe limits. I talked to someone near Lanesville, IN who said she saw the alert for flash flooding but didn’t think much of it because they get those alerts all the time. That’s alert fatigue and it’s a real problem.

[Chris Phillips @Chrisweather]

When watch/warn systems are triggered for setups that repeatedly fail to come close to severe limits, the public starts treating alerts like background noise. Then, when a truly dangerous storm is coming, the urgency may not land the way it should.

We’ll deal with two rounds of gusty storms tomorrow. The first arrives during the early morning hours, with another round possible during the afternoon.

After that, attention turns to Wednesday and Thursday. You’ll likely start seeing plenty of severe weather talk about those days already. While the pattern is worth watching, let’s take it one day at a time before going buck wild over something that’s still several days away and lacks important details.

The "tornado tag" at one time on severe t-storm warnings that specifically exhibited rotation were once upon a time a good thing. I'm not so sure now, because with every severe warning it has become the default go to... #canwenot
