Why are the text weather statements sometimes are hard to read?
The text weather statements are produced in a format that was primarily designed to be used for newswire services to be printed as newsroom copy. This format is much larger than the space provided for in the Gizgo Weather Component. The weather statements are compressed to fit that space according to the rules provided by the National Weather Service. Some Weather Service offices may inadvertantly break these rules leading to cluttered or hard-to-read content. Additional rule changes may also go into effect before we can adjust our software to the changes.
