Talk:Wind advisory

Maybe review content for accuracy
I wound up here because I asked Chrome to define:Wind Advisory.

As I type this I am looking at a tweet from @NWSMiami about a wind advisory that is in force because "Gusts could reach 35 mph along the east coast..." which is a far cry from the 46 mph cutoff mentioned in the article text. Though I do note that the article uses the weasel word "generally" to avoid being held to specifics. Wscholine (talk) 15:29, 22 April 2022 (UTC)

Though I do notice that the article more-or-less faithfully reproduces what is said at the National Weather Service Watch/Warning/Advisory Definitions page... for the Baltimore/Washington Weather Forecast Office. weather.gov has a lot of that kind of thing, where the individual forecast offices have idiosyncratic content developed locally. Probably there is not real NWS definition of when to issue a wind advisory, other than "when it gets windy enough to cause damage in your locality." Wscholine (talk) 16:01, 22 April 2022 (UTC)

The more I look at this the more I think that this page ought not to exist. There is national guidance in the NWS for Wind Advisories, High Wind Watches, and High Wind Warnings. They are all defined according to local conditions. There probably ought to be a single page that describes all three and fits them into the larger scheme of NWS Wind Warnings, Watches and Advisories and maybe how those relate to severe weather alerts generally.Wscholine (talk) 16:20, 22 April 2022 (UTC)


 * I agree. Should this article be nominated for speedy deletion? Incognito Fedora (talk) 04:20, 13 December 2023 (UTC)
