Common questions

What is the "spotter activation statement"? The spotter activation statement is created in the Hazardous Weather Outlook (HWO). It is used to let trained weather spotters know approximately when and where they could be needed to help spot severe weather. Training sessions for weather spotters are free of charge and are held several times each year, usually in the early spring. Check this calendar to find a class near you. If you would like to request a spotter talk, please contact us for more information (contact information is at the bottom of this page).

When I first load the web page, it looks strange for a few seconds. What's going on? It's called a "flash of unstyled content", or FOUC. It is completely harmless. It's just an artifact of the computer code that makes the web page work.

I clicked on one of the pictures and now I can't click anywhere else on the page. Help! Look for a gray bar with the phrase "Current Graphicast" on the left side of the bar and an "X" on the far right side of the gray bar. Click the "X" to return to the main briefing page.

The GIS display is broken. Part of the display is grayed out and the controls don't work very well. What happened, and how do I fix it? Sometimes there is a display conflict between the GIS display and the other tabs. To fix it, refresh the page by using the gray refresh button on the upper right side of the web page, or by placing your cursor in the address bar of the web browser and pressing enter. Using your brower's refresh button may not work.

I'm not an emergency manager. Can I still use this page? Absolutely! Although this page was developed to meet the needs of emergency managers in our county warning area, it is available for everyone to use.
