USA Severe Weather Warnings

[kold weather]

To compliment the N.America thread I've decided to make a thread to put in some exceptional warnings that deserve to their own thread. I've created a Tornado warning thread in the storm chasing forum, so any tornado warnings will be put in there.

Here is the first one, a warning for exceptional cold:

URGENT - WEATHER MESSAGE

.VERY COLD AIR WILL CONTINUE TO MOVE DOWN INTO THE REGION FROM

CANADA THIS MORNING...WITH WIDESPREAD TEMPERATURES WELL BELOW

ZERO ALONG AND NORTH OF HIGHWAY 200. NORTH WINDS WILL CONTINUE TO

BLOW AT 10 TO 20 MPH THROUGH THE MORNING HOURS...WHICH WILL BRING

WIND CHILL VALUES DOWN INTO THE 30 TO 40 BELOW ZERO RANGE.

TEMPERATURES AND WIND CHILLS WILL RECOVER SOMEWHAT THIS

AFTERNOON...BUT READINGS LATE TONIGHT COULD AGAIN APPROACH

HAZARDOUS LEVELS.

[kold weather]

Another bitterly cold wind chill warning:

Ah here is a biggie, some Lake Snow Effect. In this set-up some amazing snowfalls are possible in short time spans...

LAKE IN-

INCLUDING THE CITY OF...GARY

947 AM CST FRI FEB 10 2012

...LAKE EFFECT SNOW WARNING REMAINS IN EFFECT FROM 3 PM THIS

AFTERNOON TO 4 AM CST SATURDAY...

* TIMING...FAIRLY WIDESPREAD LIGHT TO MODERATE SNOW IS LIKELY TO

DEVELOP THIS AFTERNOON...ESPECIALLY AFTER 3 PM...AND CONTINUE

INTO EARLY THIS EVENING WITH SOME ACCUMULATIONS EXPECTED.

HOWEVER...AN INTENSE LAKE EFFECT SNOW BAND IS EXPECTED TO

DEVELOP BY MID TO LATE EVENING AND CONTINUE INTO THE OVERNIGHT

HOURS BEFORE SHIFTING EAST INTO PORTER COUNTY INDIANA BY SUNRISE

SATURDAY.

* SNOW ACCUMULATIONS...TOTAL SNOWFALL OF 6 TO 12 INCHES IS

LIKELY WHERE THE HEAVIEST LAKE EFFECT SNOW BAND OCCURS...WITH

ISOLATED TOTALS OF UP TO 18 INCHES POSSIBLE. SNOWFALL RATES

WITHIN THE MOST INTENSE SNOW BAND LATER THIS EVENING INTO THE

OVERNIGHT HOURS COULD EXCEED 2 TO 3 INCHES PER HOUR. DUE TO

THE LOCALIZED NATURE OF LAKE EFFECT SNOW...ACCUMULATIONS CAN

AND OFTEN DO VARY SIGNIFICANTLY OVER VERY SHORT DISTANCES AND

MANY AREAS IN LAKE COUNTY MAY END UP WITH LESS THAN 6 INCHES...

ESPECIALLY SOUTHERN PORTIONS OF THE COUNTY.

* IMPACTS...ACCUMULATING SNOWFALL WILL LIKELY MAKE TRAVEL

HAZARDOUS LATER THIS AFTERNOON. DURING THE EVENING TRAVEL WILL

LIKELY BECOME EXTREMELY DANGEROUS IF NOT NEARLY IMPOSSIBLE

WITHIN THE MOST INTENSE SNOW BAND DUE THE COMBINATION OF NEAR

ZERO VISIBILITY AND EXTREMELY HEAVY SNOWFALL RATES. STRONG NORTH

WINDS GUSTING TO BETWEEN 30 AND 40 MPH AT TIMES WILL RESULT IN

CONSIDERABLE BLOWING AND DRIFTING SNOW WITH PERIODS OF WHITEOUT

CONDITIONS.

It's funny I'm a member of a US weather site that updates all warnings. This one isn't there. Very odd.

[kold weather]

I got it from the weather.gov main site. What website is that? Feel free to post a few warnings here as well.
