Abstract
Can NEXRAD-Identified Storm Attributes Predict Local Storm Report Damage?
Track: Climate and Weather
Author(s): Clive Reece, Jim Block
Can local storm reports be forecast by early knowledge of NEXRAD-identified storm attributes? This hypothesis is explored through GIS spatial analysis using local storm reports (LSR) published by the National Weather Service and severe storm locations identified by NEXRAD weather radar. This data is analyzed for spatial correlations among storm attributes categorized by tornadic or mesocyclone signature, hail size and probability, echo intensity, and LSR damage type and severity.
