One of the more common alerts i get here. Also those WR 120s are LOUD!!! My high school has one and I tested their alert tone while I was setting up the clock for them and boy it got me. Nice video!
Im guessing this was on KWO35 bc i was in the airport and SOMEHOW i caught it on my phone! I saw it was looking like it was going to thunder but when i got it, I got marine and at the time i had no idea what it was
Because it’s not necessarily limited to thunderstorms. They can be issued for anything like a gust front, shower, waterspout, snow squall, etc. . Anything that poses a threat to boaters. That way the NWS doesn’t have to spell every single hazard out.
