New England should request a reasonable answer from the Storm Prediction Center

If I was a resident of southeastern New England, I would be absoutely irritated. Severe Thunderstorms have occured in a widespread area in the Massachusetts and Connecticut area day after day. Yet, there has been NO severe thunderstorm watch for the area. The area has been NEGLECTED by the STORM PREDICTION CENTER.

The local WFO has issued warnings and Storm Reports have had 10-20 or more reports each day. This is UNEXCEPTABLE for the STORM PREDICTION CENTER to get away with this!

THE STORM PREDICTION CENTER MUST GIVE POWER to the National Weather Service office to let them issue the watches for severe weather.

NATIONAL FORECASTERS can't forecast well locally because they miss out on terrain and related effects.

Two weekends ago, the SPC issued the severe thunderstorm watch for our area after severe weather broke out across C. NJ. I certainly see what you're talking about. I'm not sure that letting local offices handle warning is viable, though. The local offices already have a lot to handle and coordination with nearby offices might get confusing.

I am a trained weather spotter for the National Weather Service in Mount Holly, New Jersey. I also am the Assistant Skywarn Coordinator for Burlington County, New Jersey. An assistant Skywarn Coordinator works with spotters from all across the county in which you are responsible for and also coordinates with the head coordinator. There are several trained weather spotters throughout the FOX 29 viewing area. I was the weather anchor at Seneca High School, which is located in South Jersey, from February 2006 to June 2008. When I was the weather anchor, I interviewed several well known names to the weather world. Dr. Steve Lyons from The Weather Channel, Dean Gulezian who is the Eastern Director of NOAA, and Bill Proenza, former director of The National Hurricane Center. I also was a sideline, sports reporter for the Lenape District Television Channel from January 2007 to June 2008. I graduated from Seneca High School in June of 2008.
