Ask the Meteorologists
MIKE MOSS SAYS: Jerry, Thanks for your confidence, and also for the feedback about the Interactive Radar Beta. We do expect to be making changes to that feature as time goes on, some of which have been suggested by viewers and web visitors like yourself. As you mentioned, it would be a nice improvement to have the image area remain the same when the page is refreshed and when new radar data paints onto the screen. Another suggestion that we've received and think is a good idea is having users be able to save one or more personal "favorites" so that if they have family somewhere or a vacation home they'd like to be able to quickly check on, etc, they can go right to that location. We've made the programmers who created the application aware of these ideas and they agree that those would be positive changes. We were advised that they may not be "quick fixes," though, so there may be a bit of a wait before they all show up on the site.
- (1) I often hear of a Tornado Watch or a Tornado Warning. Can you describe the difference between a Watch and a Warning? (2) When it is stated that there may be a 50 % chance of rain on a particular day, isn't that like saying " It may rain today or not, let's flip a coin and see ? " If it has a 50 % chance of rain, then it is equally likely that it will not rain also ? Posted: Sep. 3, 2008
- What would be the cumulative drought status in NC if we did not get the beneficial rains from tropical storms? The question arises because we appear to be continually bailed out by the tropical storms. Posted: Sep. 3, 2008
- Where can I find the allergy information that used to be on the website? Thanks! Posted: Aug. 26, 2008
