Hello NWS Boulder partner,
The National Weather Service's Hazard Simplification program is moving forward. On March 4, 2021, NWS announced a decision to make major changes to the Watch, Warning and Advisory (WWA) system. The announcement is at this link:
https://www.weather.gov/media/notification/pdf2/pns21-12_haz_simp_headlines.pdfAt the core of the decision is the removal of all WWA-based Advisory headlines and Special Weather Statements in favor of plain language headlines that clearly articulate the nature of the hazard.
As a follow on to this announcement, all NWS partners are invited to attend one of the upcoming webinars to provide feedback on a proposed set of options as to exactly how this plain language should be designed and structured. The feedback webinars as scheduled for May 5, 6, 12, and 19, you only need to attend one. More information and webinar signup information is available here:

We hope to have a strong representation from our NWS Denver/Boulder partners.
thanks
