While some of us are gathered here and online for #NWAS22, I wanted to kick off a conversation about how we use purple aka magenta aka fuchsia, especially in short-fuse weather warning graphics.
I'm concerned we're backing ourselves into a corner we don't want to be in.

More than a few presentations so far this week have included images or video clips of tornado warnings or other short-fuse events (e.g. TOR or FF emergencies) using purple (or fuchsia or magenta, but I'll stick with purple for simplicity) as the outline or fill color.

This is a marked changed from 10-15 years ago, when there was near-universal agreement on how we displayed tornado warnings: A bright, in your face, attention-grabbing red color. And that was for good reason: Red means stop, this is important, this is dangerous, etc.

Today’s #nwas22 keynote is “How to Weather the Weather” with our own @JaniceHuff4ny and @mikerawlins!
“It’s about people.” #nwas22
Now that I’m back home from Tulsa, I wanted to reflect for a moment on #nwas21, which was, to the best of my knowledge, the first open meeting in the weather enterprise with an in-person component in a year and a half.
TL;DR So much pride. So much gratitude.

Over the last year, we’ve been watching COVID trends like everyone else. Two months ago, it looked like we’d have been able to have had a pretty large in-person meeting, potentially without many restrictions.
Then the variant-that-shall-not-be-named reared its ugly head.

For the last few weeks, @JaniceBunting and I were talking daily, sharing stats, reviewing guidance, and so forth. That lead to more conversations with folks in Tulsa on case rates, hospitalization figures, and guidance from civic leaders.
