Default Weather Warnings

The weather warnings really have to be very specific to be of much

Which at any more than an hour or two's notice (and that may be
optimistic) is unlikely to be possible with thundery downpours.

Yes, is it tricky, this is where I agree with Norman's view on
Nowcasts.

I find it hard to see why there is a severe weather warning for
Cornwall tomorrow (There's also one for Sun & Mon). It is not
supported by the local forecasts. If you are say in Penzance, it's
going to be dry with spells of sunshine tomorrow according to
http://www.metoffice.gov.uk/weather/...t_weather.html
Might be a light shower on Sun, back to dry with some sunshine Mon.

What's the poor punter to believe?
