More changes in the NWS

Yes I'm so glad they made this change,just like they did this winter with dropping the heavy snow warning.....
Here is the email I got from one of friends who work for the NWS out of Green Bay....
Folks...starting about March 15th all NWS offices in and around Wisconsin (basically in the Central Region of the NWS), will change the criteria for issuing a Severe Thunderstorm Warning from 3/4 inch to 1 inch in diameter for hailstones.The March 15th date could be delayed a bit. We will still keep the wind speed criteria of 58 mph or higher - no change is being made to the wind speeds criteria.Essentially, this change will result in fewer Severe Thunderstorm Warnings being issued - since we will not issue warnings for storms that produce hail of 3/4 to 7/8 inch in diameter. Rarely will there be any structural damage due to hail less than 1 inch in diameter. Consequently this change is a common sense change.Spotters are still expected to report hail sizes of 3/4 inch and 7/8 inch in diameter, or larger. It will not be necessary to report hail sizes of 1/4 inch or 1/2 inch in diameter since we've raised the warning threshold to 1 inch in diameter.The NWS offices that service Kansas conducted a test during the past 2 years, and Emergency Managers, the media, and public overwhelmingly approved of the change.
Thank God I won't have to read all the pea size hail reports any more!!!!!!!!!
