Tornado Warning Collage

Posted: 28 Mar 2019 05:34 AM

This week is Severe Weather Awareness Week with Wednesday featuring the statewide Tornado Warning drill. The featured map looks like a collage of patches, but represents the year a location in the state last received a Tornado Warning. This analysis is based on the storm-based polygons issued by the NWS and not the associated counties included in the warning. These polygons were not operational until 2007, but were unofficially issued since 2002. The white slivers on the map would indicate no tornado warnings for that location since at least 2002.

Voting:
Good = 14
Bad = 1
