A few words of caution
The IEM archive ONLY goes back to 2006. There are records of the SPC issuing PDS watches more than two decades prior to that (since 1982). If you happen to know where you can find PDS watch records prior to 2006, please either post them here or cite the list. 12.74.221.43 (talk) 23:11, 20 May 2024 (UTC)
Flash Flood Watches?
I want to inform you that the particularly dangerous situation phrase was only used by certain NWS offices (mainly the Memphis one) and the Flash Flood Watch itself was largely deprecated in 2021 (it was consolidated into a Flood Watch except in cases of dam/levee failures, heavy rain over burn scars, or other non-rainfall related floods) 12.74.221.43 (talk) 23:15, 20 May 2024 (UTC)
- Furthermore; Flash Flood Watches were NEVER issued by the Storm Prediction Center (unlike severe thunderstorm and tornado watches) 12.74.221.43 (talk) 23:16, 20 May 2024 (UTC)
- That’s fine. They should still be included as they are PDS watches issued by the National Weather Service, which is what this list is for. SPC is a branch of the National Weather Service and obviously, if a NWS office issued a watch with the wording, that is also a watch issued by the National Weather Service. The opening sentence is “This is a list of "particularly dangerous situation" (PDS) watches issued by the National Weather Service.” That wording right there suits the usage for the lists.
