Description:The SELS Unit of the National Severe Storms Forecast Center routinely issues convective outlooks and severe local storm watches to delineate areas that are favorable for development of severe local storms. This report summarizes verification of those forecasts that were issued during 1992. The threat of severe local storms was identified well via the second-day outlooks.Prediction of the location of subsequent events improved in the first-day outlooks. During 1992 the SELS Unit issued 940 severe local storm watches. Of these, 348 were tornado watches. The total of 940 was the most watches issued in one year, exceeding the previous high of 836 in 1991. There were 13416 severe local storm events during 1992. Of these, 1297 were tornadoes. In terms of the total number of both tornadoes and all events, this was the most active season on record.
