Description
In the Fall of 2016, the HazSimp project proposed the idea of consolidating Winter and Hydrologic products. Two surveys were created which outlined the proposed consolidated/reformatted products. The feedback was overwhelmingly in favor of the consolidation and reformatting. Now, the HazSimp project is formally requesting to consolidate and reformat our Winter and Hydrologic products. Two surveys will be created which outline our proposals for Winter and Hydrology; the surveys will be open for 30-days. Once the comment period closes, a detailed analysis of both surveys will begin. This proposal will reformat all current Winter Weather products (Watches, Warnings and Advisories) to follow a “What”, “Where”, “When”, “Additional Details” and “Precautionary/ Preparedness Actions” order. The proposal will also consolidate Winter Watch and Advisory Precipitation Products and at a subset of offices, consolidate the Lake Effect Snow Warning. This proposal will reformat all Flood Watches, Warnings, and Advisories to follow a “What”, “Where”, “When”, “Additional Details” and “Precautionary/ Preparedness Actions” order. The proposal will consolidate all Flash Flood Watch and Flood Watch products into one Flood Watch product. The Flash Flood Watch product will no longer be issued. Instead, information regarding possible flash flooding will be contained in the “What” section of the reformatted message. The FF.A VTEC will be discontinued during the demonstration. For a select number of sites to be announced with any subsequent Service Change Notice, the NWS will no longer use the five types of individual headlines associated with Flood Advisory products (Urban and Small Stream Flood Advisories, Arroyo and Small Stream Flood Advisories, Small Stream Flood Advisories, Flood Advisories, and Hydrologic Advisories) within the FA.Y Valid Time Event Code (VTEC). Instead, specific information regarding individual hazards will be provided in the “What” portion of the products.
