Severe Weather Warning
See, in Cleveland when you see these words in the winter, they're usually accompanied by a roll of the eyes, a calculated indifference ("Oh well, it's winter in Cleveland"), and then an anxious check of the details anyhow, because you need to estimate how many additional hours it may take you to get home from work that night.
Here in the Grand Canyon State (which really should rightfully own the Sunshine State motto, but that's another story), a Severe Weather Warning actually indicates the following. Tell me folks, honestly, you're as nervous as I am, aren't you?
...AIR STAGNATION ADVISORY REMAINS IN EFFECT UNTIL 5 PM MST THISAFTERNOON...THE NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE IN PHOENIX IS CONTINUING THE AIRSTAGNATION ADVISORY UNTIL 5 PM MST THIS AFTERNOON FOR THE VALLEYS OF SOUTH-CENTRAL ARIZONA...INCLUDING THE GREATER PHOENIX METROPOLITAN AREA. ASTABLE ATMOSPHERE...COMBINED WITH LIGHT WINDS IN THE LOWEST LEVELS OFTHE ATMOSPHERE WILL CONTINUE TO PRODUCE A STAGNANT AIRMASS OVER THEREGION TODAY. SLIGHTLY STRONGER LOW LEVEL WIND SPEEDS SHOULD LEAD TO BETTERATMOSPHERIC MIXING DURING THE DAY ON WEDNESDAY.
The forecast, BTW, calls for 5 straight days of sunshine. Better issue another weather advisory!
Yeah, I love it here.

I don't even understand.
WHERE ARE YOU, DUDE??? Weren't you supposed to come here last Friday???
My dad worked for The Illuminating Co. and severe weather used to mean he'd be called out to keep TheBestLocationInTheNation's power up and running...
And here in Okieland, it usually means tornados. *sigh*
