The National Weather Service issues Severe Thunderstorm Warnings (SVR) when a severe storm is happening or imminent, letting the public know it’s time to take action to stay safe (such as taking shelter). These warnings are Impact-Based, focusing on the expected storm impacts, allowing for more precise communication and recommended actions. Now, to further improve communication, NWS will be including Damage Threat Categories to all SVRs. Wireless Emergency Alert (WEA) messages will be activated on mobile devices whenever a ‘Destructive’ Severe Thunderstorm Warning is issued.
