Decayed? I have never heard that used before! Only weakened. :?:

Hmmm.....Must have been a creative day for the person creating this forecast!

I am sure other National Weather Service offices across the country have used the word "decay" in their Special Weather Statement. It is an appropriate word; but I agree it isn't used too often.

I agree that it is appropriate, just a little surprising to hear.

LOL... "decayed" That's one I haven't heard often...
