All the roads are blocked and they are trying to unblock them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JasonOH Posted June 23, 2016 Share Posted June 23, 2016 I didn't realize you waited to pull a TOR warning until a TDS is present. How do you want to address the strong velocity signature? All offices have a low/no lead time warning on occasion, but LOT dragged their bums on this one. We didn't wait to pull the trigger, but I've heard that the severe thunderstorm thing is a new thing they are testing. We were doing it the old way.

beavis1729 Posted June 23, 2016 Share Posted June 23, 2016 Looks like Woodsmoke Ranch Realty area... decently populated area NW of Seneca was hit pretty badly. I know that area well - I have friends who used to own a mobile home there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We were doing it the old way. The TOR possible tag in severe warnings is meant to help reduce the number of tornado warnings during a QLCS situation. It's mainly used to account for very brief and weak spin ups. It is certainly not meant to replace a tornado warning for a supercellular and more significant tornado. The TOR possible tag does not 'count' in the POD scheme either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reminds me of the Chicago office 1990's into the early 2000's when they were always late on everything they have improved lots since then but off tonight Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The TOR possible tag does not 'count' in the POD scheme either. That's what I always thought too, and that's why we never used it in the sim. We had may 6, 2015, in the Hastings CWA.

CoalCityWxMan Posted June 23, 2016 Share Posted June 23, 2016 Confused as to why LOT issued no warnings when there was still fairly strong rotation near Mazon. Luckily nothing bad happened but crazy winds here. There's some more areas of rotation right now that are going unearned. Not too thrilled with LOT on this one but everyone has off days I guess.

Stebo Posted June 23, 2016 Share Posted June 23, 2016 Embedded circulation west of Kankakee increasing, I'm a bit puzzled as to why there is no severe warning out for the line, I am seeing enough velocity to justify it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
