CoalCityWxMan Posted June 23, 2016 Share Posted June 23, 2016 They need to issue some sort of warning. Winds are insane here...according to my weather station it's switching directions frequently Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jonbo Posted June 23, 2016 Share Posted June 23, 2016 They had the tornado possible tag on the severe warning, so they didn't exactly miss it. They did, but that was when the warning was issued, which was after 3 scans showing debris on CC and also velocity showing typical signs of a likely tornado or soon to be one before the debris sigs showed up.

Central Illinois Posted June 23, 2016 Share Posted June 23, 2016 Yeah. That's not enough. Issue the tornado warning.

RyanDe680 Posted June 23, 2016 Share Posted June 23, 2016 I think before you start throwing stones, let's see what (if anything) was not accounted for with a warning and how the NWS reacted. Chances are the NWS might have more tools than the RadarScope app. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JasonOH Posted June 23, 2016 Share Posted June 23, 2016 I think before you start throwing stones, let's see what (if anything) was not accounted for with a warning and how the NWS reacted. Chances are the NWS might have more tools than the RadarScope app. They have many more tools than radar scope. For one, they have every single tilt on AWIPS II. There was only a very weak ZDR drop with the CC, so I was skeptical, even though it was in the correct location. I've been lucky enough to test a simulation for the Warning Decision Training Division using AWIPS II. Their stuff is excellent and I see why this wasn't jumped on right away. I don't remember what the previous severe warning said, but if it was also tornado possible, technically they had their bases covered. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't realize you waited to pull a TOR warning until a TDS is present. How do you want to address the strong velocity signature? All offices have a low/no lead time warning on occasion, but LOT dragged their bums on this one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
