Most confused by SPC severe weather outlooks: Study [Ep. 323]

A study found the public does not interpret the Storm Prediction Center naming conventions for severe weather outlooks correctly - - - do you?  This week on the Carolina Weather Group, we talk with Mississippi State University student Alex Forbes, whose survey consisted of over 4,000 participants across the Southeast. All but one of the five categorical tiers for the SPC's outlook were misranked by recipients. Alex's talks about where the words choosen to represent the names may be failing, and what he thinks can be done about it. Plus the latest on what is could become "Fay" off the coast of the Carolinas. A tropical low pressure system is bringing heavy rain, localized flooding, and gusty winds to eastern North Carolina, including the Outer Banks.
