Chinook Posted April 7 Share Posted April 7 Here's something intereting. There's a relative minimum of EF2+ tornadoes and total tornadoes in Missouri. On the third chart shown, I have chosen the wind probability climatology for June 24th. It is well known that June has the maximum number of wind reports of any month across the US. This chart shows the wind damage reports maximize at Kansas, also, what I'll call "Derecho Alley," from Iowa to Ohio. Also, the southern Appalachians have a maximum of wind reports. Thunderstorms are numerous in the southern Appalachians but sometimes there is not high deep-layer shear in summer. On the fourth chart you can see the hail over 1" maximizes in the central Plains, pretty much lines up with traditional tornado alley. The area with the maximum number of hail-days (of any hail size) is at Cheyenne, Wyoming to the Nebraska high plains and over to Goodland, Kansas (Not shown) Final map: total number of days of severe hail of over 1" 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian D Posted April 7 Share Posted April 7 Looking at posts on grading the Winter season, I'll say it was a D my way. Winter is generally Nov-Mar here, and we've had just enough to keep it from an epic fail. But A+ on the heating bill. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bowtie` Posted April 17 Share Posted April 17 Can anyone tell me why KIND and KLOT suddenly stopped updating every five minutes and went to just updating every hour since one this afternoon. Is it just a western region thing or all over? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just checked KEWR and they have been only updating hourly also. Must be a system wide thing. Just wonder if it is accidental or on purpose?
