And on top of that what's the deal with the "Significant Weather Advisory". Nobody except us weather nerds even see these things. Why is the NWS spending their time plotting and writing these up?

I like the enhanced Svr T-Storm warning better, I have always thought there needed to be something akin to a "Straight line" Tornado Warning if that makes sense. I dont like killing the lower end warnings completely, because ( especially in the spring/summer) 60+ mph winds can still bring down branches, and even weak trees( not only that but what about warning lead time in a strengthening storm, i.e. ends up being 80 mph event but if warning isnt issued until it hits near that strength less time of notice before it hits with that force. I also don't like the idea of different critirea for different regions, Because what about areas in Colorado( and other similar places) that have to build for 100 mph down slope winds? A storm with 80 mph winds may not seem as bad as the same storm here, and that could lead to a further breakdown in the future? Thanks for the chance for the imput :)
