KOAX 88D and 3DVAR analysis clearly showed a damaging wind event across southern Omaha and Offutt AFB.  The images can speak for themselves. Only if the warning forecaster was paying close attention to the base data from KOAX, would he/she have caught the event much ahead of 3DVAR. Note also the Tim and I had warning out of this area well in advance of the event as the hail threat quickly evolved to a heavy rain and damaging wind threat.
