OFFICE'S SHORT-FUSE COUNTY WARNING AREA
EXPANDS...EFFECTIVE AUGUST 1, 1994.
Effective Monday, August 1, 1994 at 10:00 a.m. Eastern Daylight
Time, the National Weather Service (NWS) will transfer short-fuse
warning responsibility for four counties in northwestern
Pennsylvania (Table 1) TO the Pittsburgh (PIT), Pennsylvania
Weather Service Forecast Office (WSFO), FROM Weather Service
Offices (WSO) in Erie (ERI), Pennsylvania and Youngstown (YNG),
Ohio.
For these counties, WSFO PIT will issue short-fuse warning
products (Table 2) and related products that give followup
information on the warnings (Table 3). For holders of NWS
Operations Manual Chapter C-47, County Warning Areas, this
transfer is the 18th update in 1994 of the latest chapter
issuance.
Because of this county warning transfer, subscribers to the NOAA
Weather Wire Service (NWWS) and the Family of Services (FOS) must
take appropriate action to receive the short-fuse warnings and
related products for these four counties using the PIT identifier
(Tables 2 and 3) instead of the ERI and YNG identifiers. For
example, if you have been receiving severe thunderstorm warnings
using the NWWS product identifier CLESVRYNG or PITSVRERI, you
will have to change your NWWS product identifier to PITSVRPIT.
The Universal Generic Codes (UGC), however, will remain unchanged
(as shown in Table 1).
