I should have know a busy day was in store for the OUN area when sitting down and already seeing a storm that needed a Tornado Warning. That continued throughout the rest of the day with numerous TOR\/SVR warnings issued (at least 30 and probably over 40). With the quick startup, didn’t get much of a chance to look at the GOES LAP data other than a quick overview to start the shift.<\/p>\n
With the size of the OUN area, I was jumping back and forth between 3 different radars and a significant distance between areas made for an overwhelming feeling at times during the shift (especially when trying to look at more than just radar). I used the ProbSevere and lightning jump throughout the shift and found them both to be very useful (especially for situational awareness<\/a>). In most instances, saw both lightning jumps and rapid increase in ProbSevere before the storms really took off. With as busy as things were, I wish I could have looked at the lightning jump data more in real-time. Unfortunately, there just wasn’t enough screen real-estate to overlay another product (I tried to overlay it on radar data with 50% transparency and it was too much).<\/p>\n All in all, a busy but fun day in the OUN area.<\/p>\n -SRF<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" I should have know a busy day was in store for the OUN area when sitting down and already seeing a storm that needed a Tornado Warning.
