non-standard event names?

[JJKraw]

NWS BOX currently has a "Heavy Freezing Spray Advisory" issued. This event type does not show up here and also isn't in the summary at the bottom of the weather.gov map. There are Heavy Freezing Spray Watch/Warning events along with Freezing Spray Advisory.

The only reference I can see in SCN is this one which is about the removal of an "errant" VTEC code for Heavy Freezing Spray Advisory.

Should this (or any non-matching event type) be flagged as an error with NCO Ops or is it expected behavior?

Thanks!

(FWIW the "Heavy" in the name is probably redundant in all cases. A warning for freezing spray assumes it's heavy enough to warrant such an alert. At least in my head....)

We are aware of this one. We have a fix in the works.

This is now resolved for future alerts. Heavy is not used for Advisory but is used for the Warning, as listed on the help-map page.
