David Reimer Posted November 17, 2013 Share Posted November 17, 2013 Meanwhile KPAH is issuing a bunch of radar-indicated PDS Tornado Warnings - don't know if I've seen that before. It's because of the stupid impact-warning system being tested out by a few offices. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NJwinter23 Posted November 17, 2013 Share Posted November 17, 2013 It looks like my comment was deleted. My only point about soldier Field is that they were clearly playing with fire today, and lucky the storms are not strong for chicago. Was not hyping anything lol.

yoda Posted November 17, 2013 Share Posted November 17, 2013 It's because of the stupid impact-warning system being tested out by a few offices. In the PDS warnings they are also mentioning the potential for large, dangerous tornado fwiw Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jojo762 Posted November 17, 2013 Share Posted November 17, 2013 KPAH is using the "PDS" wording on every single TOR Warning.. I thought the purpose of them is when there is a destructive tornado about to hit some sort of population center, not when there "might" be a developing tornado, albeit I do see their point, just being precautionary given the situation and setup...

NJwinter23 Posted November 17, 2013 Share Posted November 17, 2013 A 75 mph gust just south of the field is not strong? Wll that is no bueno..but the tornadic activity has missed that region for now..Gees now I'm losing on both ends of the spectrum. I was just accused of hyping the situation at Soldier field when I posted that people were standing in the aisles of the upper deck in the elements..

weunice Posted November 17, 2013 Share Posted November 17, 2013 I have read a lot of tornado warnings in the last several years and this is the first time I have seen the elevated hazard threat language for storms that did not already have a tornado on the ground. As of this post the two in southern IL and SE MO with that language are radar indicated and one with a reported funnel cloud. The ones earlier with that language had large tornadoes on the ground. In this image I have a list of tornadoes and below the purple text a summary of the text. The one with the grey triangle has a funnel cloud reported, the ones with green triangles are radar indicated. The BLACK tornado is triggered off the large and extremely dangerous tornado language. The red one is a reported tornado on the ground. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
