Right off the bat, I notice that the icons for TORP, even when loaded with maximum line thickness, can easily get lost if the brightness of your loaded radar reflectivity is too high (top image below). By reducing the brightness to 75%, the TORP icons became more noticeable (bottom image below).
It was reassuring to see TORP perform well with the knockout cases. I would have been concerned if it missed a tornado signature this prominent. This increased my confidence in using it at the very least as a situational awareness tool. An example below:
It’s evident that TORP maintained very high probabilities the entire track of this confirmed violent tornado (>99%).
However, the limitations were still glaringly apparent at times, with a >20% probability for a tornado being shown in an area of noise (below)
