I'm losing my faith in the NWS Pittsburgh.

We were issued a "Severe thunderstorm watch" at 12:47 by Notify, in effect
until 6:00 PM.

At 13:16, my weather radios activated, reporting "A severe thunderstorm watch"
in effect until 6:00 PM.

If you were going to trust your life, or your famlies life, to a weather
warning system, which would you use?

No brainer.

Regards.

Living in Pittsburgh, a recent addition to our weather has been tornadoes. Not
wishing to travel to Kansas by an unintentionally mobile home (created by the
uprooting of our conventional home), I have 2 weather radios and utilize the
service offered by the weather channel called Notify.

The interesting thing is that the warnings sent by Notify are some 3 to 5
minutes in advance of the activation of my weather radios, via the NWS. This I
don't understand. This leads me to believe that Notify would be a better bet
to warn of weather that is immediately dangerous to life and property. Perhaps
the NWS in the Pittsburgh area is unusually slow at generating the alerts,
maybe this doesn't apply elsewhere.

Never say never.
Nothing is absolute.
