2022 Local Storm Reports

Posted: 29 Dec 2022 05:30 AM

With only three days left for 2022, it continues to be a good time to look back on the year that was. The featured chart presents a calendar of daily NWS Local Storm Reports related to severe convection. While this chart does not really put into context these numbers vs some climatology, the totals are generally paltry as one typically expects during a year plagued by drought. It is interesting to see the highest total show up on 5 March, which is likely the most significant severe weather event of the year. It was the day that featured the EF4 tornado near Winterset.
