SKYWARN Detailed Documentation
SKYWARN Detailed Documentation NWS Terminology Convective Outlook Categories Risk Description 0 - Delineates, to the right of a line, where a 10% or greater probability of General thunderstorms is forecast during the valid period. 1 - An area of severe storms of either limited organization and longevity, or very low Marginal coverage and marginal intensity. An area of organized severe storms, which is not widespread in coverage with 2 - Slight varying levels of intensity. 3 - An area of greater (relative to Slight risk) severe storm coverage with varying Enhanced levels of intensity. An area where widespread severe weather with several tornadoes and/or numerous 4 - severe thunderstorms is likely, some of which should be intense. This risk is Moderate usually reserved for days with several supercells producing intense tornadoes and/or very large hail, or an intense squall line with widespread damaging winds. An area where a severe weather outbreak is expected from either numerous intense and long-tracked tornadoes or a long-lived derecho-producing thunderstorm complex that produces hurricane-force wind gusts and widespread damage. This 5 - High risk is reserved for when high confidence exists in widespread coverage of severe weather with embedded instances of extreme severe (i.e., violent tornadoes or very damaging convective wind events). Hazardous Weather Risks Risk Description An advisory is issued when a hazardous weather or hydrologic event is occurring, imminent, or likely. Advisories are for "less serious" conditions than warnings that may cause significant inconvenience, and if caution is not exercised could lead to Advisory situations that may threaten life or property. The National Weather Service may activate weather spotters in areas affected by advisories to help them better track and analyze the event.

Weather Forecasting Goals
Weather Forecasting Goals ● Knowledge of the Coast Guard weather reporting system. ● Understand how to take a MAFOR. North Channel* Environment Northern Georgian Bay Canada’s Northern Lake Southern Georgian Huron Bay weather Eastern Lake forecasts are Western LakeOntario Ontario separated by Southern Lake Huron region. The ones Eastern Lake Erie we usually sail through are Western Lake Erie labelled. *The North Channel is covered by a recreational boating forecast and is only issued in plain language. Detailed 48 hour forecasts are issued 3 times daily at 0300 - 1030 - 1830 It is the OOW job to record the forecast when it is issued. Extended (longer range) forecasts are issued twice daily at 0300 and 1830. Forecasts may be issued outside of these times, usually if the weather is expected to worsen. In that case a notification is broadcast as a Securite on Ch.16. Contents of a Forecast Forecasts predict wind strength and direction, wave height, and precipitation/visibility, as well as the timing of changes in the above. Forecasts are issued in both plain language and coded broadcasts. Examples follow: Plain language example: Regular Marine Forecast Issued 2-4 times daily. “Marine forecasts for the Canadian portion of the Great Lakes and the Ontario portion of the St. Lawrence River issued by Environment Canada at 10:30 a.m. EST Friday 16 January 2015 for today tonight and Saturday. The next scheduled forecasts will be issued at 6:30 p.m. Fog implies visibility less than 1 mile. Winds are for offshore areas. Nearshore winds may vary considerably due to shoreline effects.

Chapter 4: High Wind Introduction
Eastern Shore Hazard Mitigation Plan CHAPTER 4: HIGH WIND INTRODUCTION The Eastern Shore’s location between two coastal bodies, the Chesapeake Bay and the Atlantic Ocean, makes it vulnerable towards high wind events. Hurricanes, coastal spouts, tornadoes, tropical storms, and nor’easters are some of the high wind events that cause the shore to be designated as within the 110 to 120 mph zone. NATURAL FORCES AND CONDITIONS CAUSES OF HIGH WIND High winds on the Eastern Shore of Virginia primarily stem from tropical cyclones like hurricanes, tropical storms, and nor’easters; rotating cells within thunderstorms like tornadoes and waterspouts; and straight-line winds associated with fast-moving thunderstorms. Waterspouts can also occur without thunderstorms. These tend to arise from the water surface and move upward, forming along the base of a developing line of cumulus clouds. Fair weather water spouts tend to move little and dissipate quickly (http://oceanservice.noaa.gov/facts/waterspout.html). Sources of high wind are tornadoes, waterspouts and various coastal storms. The entire Eastern Shore is located in the 110 to 120 mph design wind zone. This means that structures built should be able to withstand 110 mph (Building Code). This is consistent with a strong Category 1 hurricane whose 3 second gusts could be anywhere from 93 to 119 mph. HURRICANES, TROPICAL STORMS, AND TROPICAL DEPRESSIONS Tropical cyclone storms were reviewed in detail in Chapter 6 – Coastal Flooding, but that discussion centered on coastal flooding, not wind speed, which is the key measure of hurricane intensity, as shown in the Saffir-Simpson Wind Scale.

Severe Weather and Lightning Policy
Severe Weather and Lightning Policy Due to the significant risks and possibility of fatal injury from lightning and severe weather, it is imperativeth thate Town of Christiansburg adopt a clear policy on how to deal with inclement weather and its effect on activities held within Town parks, facilities and on other public properties and rights-of-way (sidewalks, streets, etc.). This policy will help to clearly state the Town’s position on this issue and help to define roles of certain individuals during the decision making process. The chief concern of the Town, event organizer, or renter of outdoor facilities must be the safety of all participants, attendees, staff and spectators of the activity. The following plan will be in effect for all Town of Christiansburg sanctioned or sponsored events/activities as well as any person or organization renting any Town property. For purposes of this policy, a Town-sponsored event is defined as an event where all direction and organization of the occasion is overseen by Town officials or administrators. A Town-sanctioned event is defined as an organization hosting a Town-approved activity, whereby an event organizer oversees direction and organization. The Town of Christiansburg provides support and resources for the activity when applicable. Lastly, a rental is described as the occupation of Town property, whereby a renter is utilizing Town property or facilities, which include athletic fields or picnic shelters. In the event of threatening or inclement weather before or during a Town-sponsored event, a designated Town official or other designee will inform the attendees and participants of impending severe weather through on-site coordination and/or through the Town’s electronic messaging system.
