• Explaining Risk Ratings

    From Mike Powell@618:250/1 to All on Wed Apr 2 10:52:17 2025
    As it is that time of year again, here are the RISK levels mentioned in the Severe Weather and Heavy Rain alerts that I often post here:

    MARGINAL = 1/5
    SLIGHT = 2/5
    ENHANCED = 3/5
    MODERATE = 4/5
    HIGH = 5/5

    Some of those words, like "Slight" and "Moderate" don't sound as serious
    as they actually are if you look at the 1-5 scale.

    Be weather aware!
