Team 2 continues to work the multiple threats in NE and Team 1 in KS as seen by the probabilistic swaths and threat areas shown above.

3 storms may be a bit too much for one person to handle. Team 1 had their tornado probabilities for the first storm disappear for a time period, they may not have waited the necessary 10-15 seconds before issuing the next threat. They currently have a third smaller prob tornado threat for Logan that doesn’t seem to be updating though it has been saved–ahhh, problem is that the auto-update was turned off and it had saved the warning at a previous time in the past. The multiple polygons located at the original warning location on the screen continues to add to confusion, would be best to have these translate in time with the set storm motion.

Team 2 seems to be working better after changing the naming philosophy-named storms in terms of location relative to each other (e.g., lead storm), within own CWA would probably use county or city names. Looping control in the lower right panel would also add to the ease of use within WDSSII.
