Hand-Drawn Analyses. The human hand is one of most important instruments in predicting tornadoes. Studies of surface and upper air data, which are drawn on maps, help forecasters to see patterns in the storm that may indicate cyclonic weather.
Using a new kind of weather radar, meteorologists can detect a tornado as it's forming--up to 20 minutes before it touches down! With conventional radar, they usually could only detect a tornado only after it had formed. The tornado would appear as a hook echo on the radar return. This also wasn't reliable so forecastors had to rely on spotter reports. The new radar gives forecastors the lead time they need to issue a tornado warning early enough that the public can seek shelter.
