What this page counts
National Weather Service warnings rated severe or extreme and issued for a drawn area — tornado, severe thunderstorm, flash flood and flood warnings among them. Watches, advisories and warnings issued for whole forecast zones, such as winter storm, heat and hurricane warnings, are not included, so "No" here does not mean no weather product of any kind. A warning counts as in effect until its own expiry time. For every product in force, see the National Weather Service alerts map.
