All posts must relate to NYC weather

It's okay to discuss weather happenings outside of the metropolitan area if it might have direct, later impacts on the region, but try to keep it local.

No conspiracy theories. No fearmongering/downplaying.

Climate change is real. Cloudseeding isn't. The government doesn't control the weather. All submissions should be based on facts and science.

Forecasts & Advisories Require Sufficient Detail

All weather watches, warnings, advisories, outlooks and forecast must contain minimum key information, including: (1) issuing authority, (2) date of issuance, (3) time frame covered, (4) summary.

NWS-issued guidance and advisories do not require a link, but must be appropriately labeled. All non-NWS forecasts and guidance must explicitly identify the person or entity making the forecast, and should include a link when possible.

No copyrighted materials without permission

Official outlooks are fine. Tropical Tidbits and Pivotal Weather are okay as long as you keep the watermarks on. Other materials are subject to the conditions set by the creator/owner.

Be respectful

Be nice. Zero tolerance for any negative attitudes.

Post Quality & Title Requirements

All posts must contain at least minimally substantive content. Memes or photographs of clear blue sky, for example, are not permitted.

Source links should be included when possible.

Posts for "Weather Alert / Advisory / Warning" flair (red) or "Forecast / Outlook" flair (orange) must include the following info in the title: (1) the name of the issuing or originating agency; (2) date(s) & time(s) of issuance; (3) the geographic area and time frame covered; and (4) a brief summary or TL;DR.
