Description:

"The purpose of this study is to improve the severe thunderstorm warning process in West Virginia by studying the tendency for threshold VIL to vary from event to event. Specifically, the variation in VIL in West Virginia will be documented over the course of four severe weather seasons, then correlated to the concurrent variation of sounding variables at Huntington WV. (HTS). Next, a regression equation will be derived, which relates threshold VIL to the aforementioned sounding variables. The resulting equation will allow a unique threshold VIL to be calculated each day for West Virginia, given that severe weather is expected to occur"--Introduction
