I would think maybe they mean that it will bear watching.

found this but I am not sure it is what they are taling about :?:

Bear's Cage - [Slang], a region of storm-scale rotation, in a thunderstorm, which is wrapped in heavy precipitation. This area often coincides with a radar hook echo and/or mesocyclone, especially one associated with an HP storm

Definately not what they're talking about.

It does seem like they are referring to "bears watching" (I did catch this earlier)... saying a "BEAR WATCH WILL LIKELY BE POSTED" doesn't make any sense.

KeyLargoDave · #11 Postby **KeyLargoDave** » Mon Sep 20, 2004 12:09 am

Remember, what you're reading is meant for forecasters and discusses what will be in the public forecast. "Bear Watch" refers to language like, "this system bears watching by all in the Gulf/East coast/Wisconsin/whatever"

Maybe some inland NWS offices do encounter Bears (the ursine kind), but I doubt they put it in the weather forecast.

That watch wouldn't be a "President", would it ?

What time is it... according to the watch ?

That's a very funny forecast. Thank you.

Wonder if anyone's checked on the bears at the Houston zoo?!?

Not sure what kind of watch it is... but the time is 10:10. Most watch manufacturers set their watches to that time when they're advertised, as it makes the hands look like they're "smiling" (I kid you not!)

Thanks Wendy... I was just wondering.

Bears talk symbols sometimes
