Tropical Warning Lead Times 12 Hours More for 2010 Season
      #87359 - Wed Jan 06 2010 03:48 PM

The 2010 Atlantic and Pacific Hurricane seasons will have warnings and watches sooner than in years past. Instead of the usual 36 hour lead time for watches, it will be extended to 48 hours. And the goal for warnings to be issued will be 36 hours instead of the old 24.

This will apply both to the Atlantic and Pacific Hurricane Basins for any storms that may occur.

Will we see better evacuations with the increased lead time or more procrastination.

We will most likely see more procrastination followed by increased dissapointment when the grocery store line runs clear down I95 before we wake up in the morning!
