Severe Weather Outlook Verification for Saturday, July 11, 2009...

Discussion...

Not going to elaborate much on the verification except to state the occurances and breakdown. I'm glad Mike convinced me at the last second to not go with a 30% severe wind probability as the amount of wind damage reports would not have supported such a probability. After all, that's what good team mates are for.

Total of 33 Severe Weather Reports across Forecast Area;

Breakdown…

Slight Risk captured 32/33 severe weather reports;
15% Severe Wind Probability: captured 22/23 wind damage reports.
15% Severe Hail Probability: captured 6/6 severe hail reports.
2% Tornado Probability: captured 4/4 reported or confirmed tornadoes.
*Number of Reports/Confirmations does not necessarily signify the actual number of tornadoes. There were 2 tornado reports from nearly the same area in Northumberland County PA. In all likelihood, these reports confirmed a single tornado.*

Isolated Severe captured 1/33 severe weather reports;
5% Severe Wind Probability: captured 1/23 wind damage reports.
5% Severe Hail Probability: captured 0/6 severe hail reports.
