FROM: DONALD WERNLY, CHIEF, WARNING AND FORECAST BRANCH
SUBJECT: WILMINGTON (ILN), OHIO WEATHER SERVICE OFFICE'S SHORT-
FUSE COUNTY WARNING AREA ESTABLISHED...OCTOBER 3, 1994.
Effective Monday, October 3, 1994 at 10:00 a.m. Eastern Daylight
Time, the National Weather Service (NWS) will transfer short-fuse
warning responsibility for 56 counties (Table 1) in Ohio (36),
Indiana (8), and Kentucky (12) to the new Weather Service Office
(WSO) at Wilmington (ILN) Ohio, from WSOs in Cincinnati (CVG),
Dayton (DAY), Columbus (CMH), and Toledo (TOL), Ohio; Huntington
(HTS), West Virginia; Fort Wayne (FWA), Indiana; Lexington (LEX),
Kentucky; and the Weather Service Forecast Office (WSFO) in
Indianapolis (IND), Indiana. For these counties, WSO ILN will
issue short-fuse warning products (Table 2) and related products
that give followup information on the warnings (Table 3). For
holders of NWS Operations Manual Chapter C-47, County Warning
Areas, this transfer is the 37th update for 1994.
Because of this county warning transfer, subscribers to the NOAA
Weather Wire Service (NWWS) and the Family of Services (FOS) must
take appropriate action to receive the short-fuse warnings and
related products for the 56 counties using the ILN identifier
(Tables 2 and 3) instead of the CVG, DAY, CMH, TOL, HTS, FWA,
LEX, and IND indentifiers. The Universal Generic Codes (UGC),
however, will remain unchanged as shown in Table 1.

TO: FAMILY OF SERVICES (FOS) SUBSCRIBERS, NOAA WEATHER WIRE
SERVICE (NWWS) SUBSCRIBERS, OTHER NATIONAL WEATHER
SERVICE (NWS) PRODUCT USERS, NWS EMPLOYEES
FROM: DONALD R. WERNLY, CHIEF, WARNING AND FORECAST BRANCH
SUBJECT: CHARLESTON, WV (CRW) WEATHER SERVICE FORECAST OFFICE'S
SHORT-FUSE COUNTY WARNING AREA EXPANDS OCTOBER 3, 1994
THIS STATEMENT (ORIGINALLY TRANSMITTED JULY 27) HAS BEEN UPDATED
TO INCLUDE FAYETTE COUNTY, WEST VIRGINIA IN THE LIST OF COUNTIES
TRANSFERRED TO CRW (TABLE 1). ALL OTHER INFORMATION REMAINS THE
SAME.
Effective Monday, October 3, 1994 at 10:00 a.m. Eastern Daylight
Time, the National Weather Service (NWS) will transfer short-fuse
warning responsibility for 34 counties in West Virginia (16),
southeast Ohio (9), northeast Kentucky (7), and southwest
Virginia (2) (see Table 1) TO the Charleston, West Virginia
(CRW), Weather Service Forecast Office (WSFO). These counties
will be transferred FROM Weather Service Offices (WSO) in West
Virginia (Huntington-HTS, Elkins-EKN, Beckley-BKW), Ohio
(Columbus-CMH, Akron-CAK), and Tennessee (Bristol-TRI).
For these counties, WSFO CRW will issue short-fuse warning
products (Table 2) and related products that give follow-up
information on the warnings (Table 3). For holders of NWS
Operations Manual Chapter C-47, County Warning Areas, this
statement is an amendment to the 35th update of 1994.
Because of this county warning transfer, subscribers to the NOAA
Weather Wire Service (NWWS) and the Family of Services (FOS) must
take appropriate action to receive the short-fuse warnings and
related products for these 34 counties using the CRW identifier
(Tables 2 and 3) instead of the HTS, EKN, BKW, CMH, CAK, and TRI
identifiers. For example, if you have been receiving severe
thunderstorm warnings using the identifier CLESVRCMH you will
have to change to CRWSVRCRW. The Universal Generic Codes (UGC),
however, will remain unchanged (as shown in Table 1).
