Conflicting and confusing SA National Severe Weather Warnings: 8 June 2014 04h00 SAST - SAWS

NOTE BY MSBWX: Please take note of the conflicting and confusing SAWS weather warnings for today. The SAWS website warnings differ from those displayed on their Twitter account. The Twitter warning only warns of damaging winds along the Eastern Cape coast while the SAWS website warns against frost in the Free State, Gauteng and a high fire danger in the Western Cape.  Which sites warnings are correct, Twitter or SAWS Website?   These conflicting weather warnings can lead to confusion an uncertainty and SAWS must avoid such conflicting warnings in future. This is not the first time this has happened!
