As of this writing, the El Paso, Texas NEXRAD Weather Service Office (NWSO) continues to progress toward a Stage II classification of the National Weather Service’s Modernization and Restructuring (MAR) at which time the office will be considered a Weather Forecast Office (WFO). Already, a full compliment of Senior Forecasters has been chosen to staff the El Paso office, and the office has assumed full forecast and warning responsibility for an area defined as its County Warning Area (CWA). The Advanced Weather Interactive Processing System (AWIPS) has been installed for nearly a year, and when AWIPS is commissioned in the summer of 2000, the office will finally attain WFO status. Severe weather has a marked effect on the El Paso CWA, especially during the summer months between June and September.

Although conditions were less than optimum for tornadoes or severe thunderstorms, an isolated supercell developed just northwest of the city of Atlanta on the evening of March 14, 2008. This storm intensified as it moved into the city and produced a tornado that caused damage along a path 6 miles long that stretched from west of the World Congress Center to western DeKalb County south of Interstate 20. This storm struck at 938 pm EDT during an NCAA basketball game between the University of Alabama and Mississippi State University that was being played in the Georgia Dome. The tornado’s path was just barely north of the Dome. Had this game not gone into overtime, thousands of attendees would have been in the streets headed for their vehicles or public transportation. The toll of dead and injured might have been much larger. This tornado was rated EF2 by a storm survey team from the National Weather Service Forecast Office in Peachtree City, GA. Maximum winds were estimated to be 130 MPH

MINNEAPOLIS — The National Weather Service is getting reports of several possible tornadoes along the central Minnesota-Wisconsin border, including one near downtown Minneapolis. Powerful winds on Wednesday tore off part of a 90-year-old metal church steeple in the city, toppled trees and scattered large outdoor tents and chairs set up for a Lutheran convention. The National Weather Service issued tornado warnings after receiving reports of a tornado just north of downtown. A possible tornado also was spotted about 60 miles east in Emerald, Wis. City officials say they’ve received no immediate reports of injury. The steeple at the Central Lutheran Church was damaged as 120 people were inside, though a church spokesman said no one was injured.
