	Warnings	With a report	False alarm ratio	Reports	Inside a warning	Mean lead time
NWS San Francisco Bay Area, CA: severe thunderstorm warnings	3	2	33%	58	12%	23 min
NWS San Francisco Bay Area, CA: flash flood warnings	11	1	91%	8	13%	172 min

An office's figures cover every county it serves, including across state lines.

Verified by the Iowa Environmental Mesonet's Cow, which matches each storm-based warning with the local storm reports inside its polygon while it was in force, within 15 km of its edge: a tornado warning counts as verified on a tornado report, a severe thunderstorm warning on hail of 1 inch or more, a gust of 58 mph or more, or wind damage, a flash flood warning on a flash flood report. The false alarm ratio is the share of warnings with no such report; "inside a warning" is the probability of detection, the share of reports that fell inside one; lead time runs from the warning's issue to each report inside it, counting zero for a report that came first. A warning with no report is not proof nothing happened: reports come from spotters, the public and damage surveys, and are thin where few people live.
