Difference between Watch and Warning
-
- The third to last line stated that "In the United States, the National Weather Service issues warnings for tornadoes and severe thunderstorms in the shapes of parallelograms, with yellow meaning severe thunderstorm and red signaling tornado." This is not true. Watches are issued in this shape, but warnings are issued by county/parish. --...::: DietCoke119 :::... 18:09, 25 August 2006 (UTC)

- I agree on the watches - but if you look at the recent NWS radars, you will find that warnings are also shaped - and not by county. The county is given as a reference, but usually the warnings are along the forecasted path of the storm and do not cover the entire county (depending on its size) When the NWS main page maps show warnings they show the entire county only because of their limited ability to show the exact locations. master sonT - C 23:00, 18 June 2007 (UTC)
