*Super Storm Spotter Training Session: "Tools for the Spotter's Situational
Awareness"
**
*This presentation will discuss the concepts of severe storm formation and
evolution. Key concepts will be illustrated using recent and historical
storm pictures and video segments. Gary will highlight diagnostic tools to
assist the spotter in evaluating the convective environment, and in turn,
anticipate storm behavior in addition to interpretation of radar signatures
with respect to visual storm features and severe weather locations. The
presentation will conclude with a case study review of a 2012 severe
weather event.
