Talk:Severe thunderstorm warning

message: **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)
replies: text: 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)
replies: text: Actually, the above info is old information. The NWS has been issuing warnings using boxes for quite a while now. They did it to try & improve upon the False Alarm Rate they experienced using the old, county-based system of issuing warnings. Many people in the USA unfortunately still get county-based warnings because the downstream automated systems (like sirens, etc.) that process those warnings can't necessarily provide the needed detail to the public.

message: I check pages listed in :Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of :Severe thunderstorm warning's orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.
Reference named "Dissemination":
From Tornado warning: 
From First Warning: 
From National Weather Service: 
I apologize if any of the above are effectively identical; I am just a simple computer program, so I can't determine whether minor differences are significant or not. AnomieBOT⚡ 16:34, 28 December 2020 (UTC)
thread_title:  Orphaned references in [[:Severe thunderstorm warning]] 

message: In the article there's a spot where it says, "no hail size will be indicated in the “Hazard” row nor will a description of damage risk will be included in the “Impact” section". Is it supposed to say "no hail size will not be indicated.." or is the wording just a bit weird? Blaze The Wolf | Proud Furry and Wikipedia Editor (talk) 19:44, 20 August 2021 (UTC)
