    Winter Weather Warnings, Watches and Advisories

    Winter weather related Warnings, Watches and Advisories are issued by your local National Weather Service office. Each office knows the local area and will issue Warnings, Watches or Advisories based on local criteria. For example, the amount of snow that triggers a “Winter Storm Warning” in the Northern Plains is typically much higher than the amount needed to trigger a “Winter Storm Warning” in the Southeast.

    +Warnings: Take Action!

    +Watches: Be Prepared

    +Advisories: Be Aware

    Here are some more key terms to understand:

    • Freezing Rain: Rain that freezes when it hits the ground; creating a coating of ice on roads, walkways, trees and power lines.
    • Sleet: Rain that turns to ice pellets before reaching the ground. Sleet also causes moisture on roads to freeze and become slippery.
    • Wind Chill: A measure of how cold people feel due to the combined effect of wind and cold temperatures; the Wind Chill Index is based on the rate of heat loss from exposed skin. Both cold temperatures and wind remove heat from the body; as the wind speed increases during cold conditions, a body loses heat more quickly. Eventually, the internal body temperature also falls and hypothermia can develop. Animals also feel the effects of wind chill; but inanimate objects, such as vehicles and buildings, do not. They will only cool to the actual air temperature, although much faster during windy conditions.

  • Become a Skywarn Weather Spotter for the National Weather Service

    Become a Skywarn Weather Spotter for the National Weather Service

    Loveland, Ohio – Here’s a great opportunity for public service for individuals with interests in weather and communication: Take a 2-hour virtual class led by a National Weather Service meteorologist to become a Skywarn Weather Spotter. 

    Skywarn spotters volunteer to become the “eyes and ears” of the National Weather Service. Spotters serve their community by acting as a valuable source of information when dangerous storms approach.

    Classes are free, open to the public, and require registration via the links provided in each course description below. Each class covers techniques and safety for severe weather spotting. Once you attend a class, you will receive instructions for filling out online registration forms to officially become a trained spotter and can report severe weather to your NWS office. 

    During the webinar, a National Weather Service meteorologist will teach you how to properly identify and report significant weather events that have an impact on the safety of your community, such as damaging winds, hail, heavy rain, and tornadoes. At this time, there are no in-person spotter training courses scheduled for the 2021 spring season. 

    The National Weather Service encourages anyone with an interest in public service and access to communication, such as amateur radio, to participate as a Skywarn storm spotter. Volunteers include police and fire personnel, dispatchers, EMS workers, public utility workers, and other concerned private citizens. Individuals affiliated with hospitals, schools, churches, nursing homes, or who have a responsibility for protecting others are also encouraged to become a spotter.

  • Why did you receive the false Flood Warning Alert Thursday night?

    Why did you receive the false Flood Warning Alert Thursday night?

    Loveland, Ohio – On Thursday, March 29 at 11:20 PM, many residents received a phone call from the Hamilton County Emergency Management & Homeland Security Agency. It was a recorded robocall notifying residents that a flood warning had been issued. Problem was, it was supposed to alert residents along the Great Miami River, not the Little Miami. The failure was due to a malfunction in Hamilton County’s mass notification tool according to Ryan McEwan, the Assistant Director of the agency. The National Weather Service in Wilmington issued a Flood Warning for the Great Miami River in western Hamilton County.

    In a press release, McEwan said, “Hamilton County Emergency Management & Homeland Security Agency (EMHSA) is working with our mass notification vendor to identify why the malfunction occurred and to ensure it does not occur again.”

    On the agency’s Facebook page one resident posed this question:

    “I got a call at 11:30 on my land line phone. I didn’t subscribe. Wondering why.”

    The agency responded:

    “You were alerted of the Flood Warning because our system is set up to call land lines during an emergency that could threaten life safety or when severe weather (like a Tornado Warning or Flood Warning) is issued for your area. Unfortunately, there was a malfunction in the system last night that called more residents than intended. We have since fixed this issue and it should not happen again. We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience.”

    Another resident asked this question:

    “The phone call at that hour of the night scared me half to death!! I was afraid there was something wrong with one of our children or grandchildren!”

    The agency did not respond.

    Another resident asked this question:

    “When it IS working properly, will we be notified every hour on the hour? That how it worked for me overnight…1x would have been sufficient. Just wondering, thank you!”
     
    The agency responded:
     
    “No ma’am. I really apologize for the inconvenience. We have addressed the issue so that the system will work as intended. Again, we sincerely apologize.”
