Description:The SELS Unit of the National Severe Storms Forecast Center routinely issues convective outlooks and severe local storm watches that delineate areas that are favorable for development of severe local storms. This report summarizes verification of those forecasts that were issued during 1985. Convective outlooks exhibited the best forecast skill during the active months of spring. Ability in delineating the threat of tornadoes by tornado watches was observed. High percentages of tornado-related fatalities (83$) and injuries (76$) occurred within valid severe local storm watches. Greater skill was shown in forecasting the more intense tornadoes.
