  • The Birth and Early Years of the Storm Prediction Center
    AUGUST 1999 CORFIDI 507 The Birth and Early Years of the Storm Prediction Center STEPHEN F. C ORFIDI NOAA/NWS/NCEP/Storm Prediction Center, Norman, Oklahoma (Manuscript received 12 August 1998, in ®nal form 15 January 1999) ABSTRACT An overview of the birth and development of the National Weather Service's Storm Prediction Center, formerly known as the National Severe Storms Forecast Center, is presented. While the center's immediate history dates to the middle of the twentieth century, the nation's ®rst centralized severe weather forecast effort actually appeared much earlier with the pioneering work of Army Signal Corps of®cer J. P. Finley in the 1870s. Little progress was made in the understanding or forecasting of severe convective weather after Finley until the nascent aviation industry fostered an interest in meteorology in the 1920s. Despite the increased attention, forecasts for tornadoes remained a rarity until Air Force forecasters E. J. Fawbush and R. C. Miller gained notoriety by correctly forecasting the second tornado to strike Tinker Air Force Base in one week on 25 March 1948. The success of this and later Fawbush and Miller efforts led the Weather Bureau (predecessor to the National Weather Service) to establish its own severe weather unit on a temporary basis in the Weather Bureau± Army±Navy (WBAN) Analysis Center Washington, D.C., in March 1952. The WBAN severe weather unit became a permanent, ®ve-man operation under the direction of K. M. Barnett on 21 May 1952. The group was responsible for the issuance of ``bulletins'' (watches) for tornadoes, high winds, and/or damaging hail; outlooks for severe convective weather were inaugurated in January 1953.

Blackw stormsx ell Publishing Ltd Severe Deep Moist Convective Storms: Forecasting and Mitigation David L. Arnold* Department of Geography, Frostburg State University Abstract Small-scale (2–20 km) circulations, termed ‘severe deep moist convective storms’, account for a disproportionate share of the world’s insured weather-related losses. Spatial frequency maximums of severe convective events occur in South Africa, India, Mexico, the Caucasus, and Great Plains/Prairies region of North America, where the maximum tornado frequency occurs east of the Rocky Mountains. Interest in forecasting severe deep moist convective systems, especially those that produce tornadoes, dates to 1884 when tornado alerts were first provided in the central United States. Modern thunderstorm and tornado forecasting relies on technology and theory, but in the post-World War II era interest in forecasting has also been driven by public pressure. The forecasting process begins with a diagnostic analysis, in which the forecaster considers the potential of the atmos- pheric environment to produce severe convective storms (which requires knowl- edge of the evolving kinematic and thermodynamic fields, and the character of the land surface over which the storms will pass), and the likely character of the storms that may develop. Improvements in forecasting will likely depend on technological advancements, such as the development of phased-array radar sys- tems and finer resolution numerical weather prediction models.

  • Tornado Basics
    TORNADO BASICS NOAA/National Weather Service Tornado FAQ What is a tornado? According to the Glossary of Meteorology (AMS 2000), a tornado is "a violently rotating column of air, pendant from a cumuliform cloud or underneath a cumuliform cloud, and often (but not always) visible as a funnel cloud." Literally, in order for a vortex to be classified as a tornado, it must be in contact with the ground and the cloud base. Weather scientists haven't found it so simple in practice, however, to classify and define tornadoes. For example, the difference is unclear between an strong mesocyclone (parent thunderstorm circulation) on the ground, and a large, weak tornado. There is also disagreement as to whether separate touchdowns of the same funnel constitute separate tornadoes. It is well- known that a tornado may not have a visible funnel. Also, at what wind speed of the cloud-to-ground vortex does a tornado begin? How close must two or more different tornadic circulations become to qualify as a one multiple-vortex tornado, instead of separate tornadoes? There are no firm answers. BACK UP TO THE TOP How do tornadoes form? The classic answer -- "warm moist Gulf air meets cold Canadian air and dry air from the Rockies" -- is a gross oversimplification. Many thunderstorms form under those conditions (near warm fronts, cold fronts and drylines respectively), which never even come close to producing tornadoes. Even when the large-scale environment is extremely favorable for tornadic thunderstorms, as in an SPC "High Risk" outlook, not every thunderstorm spawns a tornado. The truth is that we don't fully understand.

Jans1 and Dr. Cecil Keen2 1 2 Spotter Network Inc., Wheaton, IL 60187 and Minnesota State University, Mankato, MN 56001 1. INTRODUCTION It has been said, “Storm spotters are, and always will be, an indispensable part of the severe local storm warning program” (NWS, 2009). Since the early 1940’s, volunteer spotters have been observing and communicating ground truth information to public servants engaged in the protection of life and property (Doswell et al., 1999). A once small military and aviation based network of weather observers has grown substantially since 1965 with the inception of the National Weather Service (NWS) SKYWARN® Program and in 2006 with Spotter Network©. The present day spotter community includes members from all walks of life including emergency management, firefighters and rescuers, law enforcement, amateur radio operators, storm chasers, and concerned citizens (Figure 1). With advances in science and technology and thus data reporting, it is incumbent upon Figure 2: Table represents a preliminary breakdown of the spotters to have some degree of common education and fourteen different $1 Billion disasters that impacted the United States in 2011 along with reported fatalities (NCDC 2011). standards of reporting and tracking so that public safety Image courtesy of Jeff Masters at wunderground.com personnel can rely upon the reports they are receiving. increasingly being used within multiple domains ranging from real time use by public safety personnel to post storm high dollar insurance claim verification (Figure 3).

  • Storm Spotting and Public Awareness Since the First Tornado Forecasts of 1948
    544 WEATHER AND FORECASTING VOLUME 14 Storm Spotting and Public Awareness since the First Tornado Forecasts of 1948 CHARLES A. DOSWELL III NOAA/ERL/National Severe Storms Laboratory, Norman, Oklahoma ALAN R. MOLLER NOAA/NWS Weather Forecast Of®ce, Fort Worth, Texas HAROLD E. BROOKS NOAA/ERL/National Severe Storms Laboratory, Norman, Oklahoma (Manuscript received 23 April 1998, in ®nal form 1 October 1998) ABSTRACT The history of storm spotting and public awareness of the tornado threat is reviewed. It is shown that a downward trend in fatalities apparently began after the famous ``Tri-State'' tornado of 1925. Storm spotting's history begins in World War II as an effort to protect the nation's military installations, but became a public service with the resumption of public tornado forecasting, pioneered in 1948 by the Air Force's Fawbush and Miller and begun in the public sector in 1952. The current spotter program, known generally as SKYWARN, is a civilian-based volunteer organization. Responsibility for spotter training has rested with the national fore- casting services (originally, the Weather Bureau and now the National Weather Service). That training has evolved with (a) the proliferation of widespread ®lm and (recently) video footage of severe storms; (b) growth in the scienti®c knowledge about tornadoes and tornadic storms, as well as a better understanding of how tornadoes produce damage; and (c) the inception and growth of scienti®c and hobbyist storm chasing. The concept of an integrated warning system is presented in detail, and considered in light of past and present accomplishments and what needs to be done in the future to maintain the downward trend in fatalities.
