Svr/Tor Warning during Blizzard Warning

Posted: 22 Feb 2014 09:22 AM

The recent blizzard event on Thursday featured a somewhat rare combination of a forecast zone being under a blizzard warning and also having a severe thunderstorm warning active at the same time! The featured chart presents an IEM computation of the number of times this has happened since late 2005. This combination happens approximately once each year for some lucky location in the country.

Voting:
Good = 31
