1 - Saying any of the following: "thundershowers," "tornado on the ground," "frontal boundary."
1 (continued) - Instead say: "thunderstorms," "tornado," "front OR boundary."
2 - Using a 'storm track' feature on your RADAR to follow rain/snow or even NOTHING when it is clearly not a storm. No crying wolf allowed...or rename your storm track 'anything track'...or something.
3 - Superfluous Adjectives or Nouns for naming extreme weather...like: 'SUPERSTORM,' 'SNOWPOCALYPSE,' or 'SNOWMAGEDDON.'
4 - Describing temperature as HOT or Cold. We're all guilty of this one.
5 - Storm Chasers that are out chasing for any reason other than research. People with a camera give the storm chasing community a bad name now. Be safe...find cover...let's do more stories on those people setting an example. Tornadoes happen...no surprise.
This is all I can think of on the top of my head...now it's time for a relaxing Saturday...whoop, whoop!
Let's build a brighter, more meteorologically intellectual community. I implore you...be the best weather 'jargoner' you can be! Vote for correct weather terminology 2014! You sir and madam, can do it too!
