The National Weather Service in Huntsville
created an initial database of all severe weather events reported across
its County Warning Area in 2002. Intern Meteorologist Kurt Weber compiled
the data and from it and created a severe weather climatology for the
Tennessee Valley. You can view his complete paper here.
Since then, the tornado climatology has been updated to include all
tornadoes that have affected the Huntsville County Warning Area through
February of 2008. To view updated tornado climatological charts and information through
February of 2008, click here.

all confirmed severe weather events in the Huntsville CWA. This
is not a list of all severe weather events that have ever affected
this area. Many events occur that are never reported because
they were isolated in nature. |
