Daily Summary – 16 June 2010

Two parts today.

Part 1 (pre-600pm):  DC-LMA domain.  Our Sterling WFO (LWX) team issued a number of SVR warnings, mostly for wind.  Our State College WFO (CTP) had numerous AWIPS problems (no notifications), and there were no severe storms.

Part 2 (post-600pm):  Floater domain over the western half of South Dakota.  Two forecasters in the Rapid City domain, and one briefly in the Aberdeen domain.  Three severe storms, including one major supercell that produced prolific large tornadoes and was nearly stationary near Faith.  All systems worked well today.

Also during Part 2, one forecaster went through the 5/24/08 archive case.

Surveys were given to the two forecasters that issued most of the warnings today.
