Forecasting Organized Severe Storms: Lecture 4 - Final Considerations

In this section, Ariel Cohen addresses the various convective hazards that emanate from organized, severe storms. This effectively links the meteorological assessment of convective mode and propensity for convection to be surface based with hazards, which serves as a foundation for related Impacts-based Decision Support Services. A discussion of tornadogenesis emanating from both supercells and quasi-linear convective systems is highlighted in this section. This section culminates with a discussion of the relationship between the assessment of convective hazards and Convective Outlook designations, philosophical elements of Convective Outlook preparation, along with a discussion of General Thunderstorm forecasting.
