List of Storm Prediction Center mesoscale discussions on individual tornadoes

Add links
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This is a list of mesoscale discussions concerning specific ongoing tornadoes. Convective mesoscale discussions are issued by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s Storm Prediction Center based on the National Weather Center in Norman, Oklahoma.[1][2] One type of mesoscale discussion is a meso-gamma mesoscale discussion, which are for tornadoes believed to be at least EF2 on the Enhanced Fujita scale, or winds at least 100 miles per hour (160 km/h).[3][4][5][6][7] So far, the Storm Prediction Center has issued 40 mesoscale discussions concerning ongoing tornadoes.
