Recent Storm Reports Display
This display shows you the graphical representations of recent storm reports issued by NWS forecast offices.
Local storm reports issued during the past 90 minutes are displayed on the regional map. Report types displayed
on the map include tornado reports, severe wind reports (>= 58 mph), and severe hail reports (>= 0.75 inches)
Each report type is depicted by a specific color and symbol. Tornado reports are displayed as red "funnels"
(inverted triangles). Severe wind reports are represented by yellow squares with the wind values (in mph)
overlaid on the squares, while wind damage reports are shown as orange squares overlaid with the letters �WD�
(for wind damage).
Severe hail reports are symbolized by light blue hexagons with the letter "A" (old Surface Airways Observation [SAO]
code for hail) and hail size values (in inches) overlaid on the hexagons. It should be noted that the size of the hexagon
symbol increases based on the size of the hail listed in each storm report. In addition, the hail symbols darken as the
hail reports age with time.
Use the symbol/color key below to relate specific colors and shapes to specific storm report types.
