Yesterday we had our first Storm Watch activation as the result of a tornado warning. However, it didn’t activate until about 20 minutes into the warning. In the meantime, nearby downed trees knocked out power nearby. The Storm Watch mode ended exactly at the end of the warning interval which is what I expected. While I was glad to see it activate, the late start limited its usefulness.
Today - we just had exactly the same storm scenario - a significant storm with another tornado warning. There was no activation of Storm Watch.
This leaves me baffled as to what alert condition initiates Storm Watch. It seems as though there must be human intervention and the same practices are not consistently followed.
