French: While largest ZDR columns <40 km2 (by their measurement technique, not available operationally) rarely/briefly occur in nontornadic storms, they are single-scan/fleeting. One tornadic storm can have more volume scans of such “immense” ZDR columns than all known nontornadic cases put together (7). Why such strong precursory association, physically? Need to look at assoc. of SRW & large columns/updrafts. #sls32

Kuster: HWT warning experiments/exercises show forecaster participants overwhelmingly preferred the more-frequent updates and better vertical coverage of PAR vs 88D. They adapted to the firehose of more/faster info. Gave more confidence in warning issuance (or not issuing!), and in being proactive as much as reactive. Me to world: so why the hell is this not already operational? Phased-array tech has been around my whole lifetime and has been tested on real storms for many, many years. #sls32

Matthew Jeglum, from a talk entitled, “Can a Tornado Warning Cause More Damage Than the Tornado Itself?” One major point being: bad and/or unneeded warnings have not just a credibility cost, but economic too. #sls32

This was a well-developed, probably significant, supercellular tornado, based on my experience, and the surrounding ambient structure:: hard to beat! The Southern Hemispheric winter has yielded a few outstanding ones so far.
