Active Storm Cells Visualization

● Tornadic - Radar detects a potential tornadic vortex signature (TVS).
● Rotating - A high probability of significant rotation is detected.
● Hail - A high probability of hail size estimated at .25" or greater.
● General - All other storm cells
By Storm Cell Category

Note: Storm cells that meet multiple criteria are categorized with the most severe category.
