6/3 questions

[Eric Flescher]

(1) why wasn't KS included in the area REPORT title of 6/3/08? It does not seem to mean that KS reports could not be posted as several were.

(2) just for point of reference
When do NOW reports end and be placed in discussion or REPORT threads

I would really like to see a FAQ for the threads. I feel there are "holes" that need to be plugged so that I and maybe others don't run a foul from reports. My take , 2 cents

Thanks for your time and consideration. You guys do a great job

Your "FAQ" is the Target Area rules themselves Eric.

For the first one....because whoever started the thread didn't put it in the title. Not that big of a deal, happens all the time, we end up having to add states to the title.

For NOW threads:

(4) Forecasts & Nowcasts forum. In the Forecasts & Nowcasts forum, we allow two types of messages, as follows.
* FCST is for discussing forecast aspects of severe weather that has not occurred yet, from now up to 7 days in the future
* NOW is for discussing forecast aspects of severe weather that is occurring right now or within the last 60 minutes (photos and third-party reports are allowed).

Not sure where the "hole" there is...it's pretty clear cut.

that's when it gets dicey but thanks

Just wanted to make sure about the titles.

"edited 4/14/07 to allow photos and third-party reports in NOW threads as long as they are not more than 60 minutes old. As a reminder, all NOW posts must cover forecasting aspects (i.e. to demonstrate what the storm is doing or has a history of doing)."

Things are pretty clear sometimes ? arise. appreciate info
Thanks very much Dave.

I see now threads and report/discusion threads all the time leave out states in the titles that should be there. The person who started the thread should be able to change the title by editing his or her post. What I do is look at the SPC outlook and put any state with a SLIGHT RISK or higher in the title of the now thread. If a state is missing from the title of a now thread it is not a big problem. Just discuss the weather there anyways.
