All forms of weather that occur year round could turn out to be deadly.
That is why no season is safe and NWS has seperate reporting criteria and guidelines that must be met before filing a report.
This criteria is broken down into two distinct groups wintertime guidelines and spring/summer/fall guidelines.
By having this guidelines for stormspotters to follow as well as the real time weather data, NWS is then able to fulfill its mission statement..."to protect life and property during times of adverse weather conditions."
