Two of the high temperatures on the 25th and 26th peaked at 105 degrees...which set the all time record for the month of June and tied the all-time maximum temperature for Denver. 25-26 In 1969...from the 25th into the 26th...high winds raked Boulder causing one fatality and some injuries. One man was injured by a falling tree limb. At the National Center for Atmospheric Research in Boulder...sustained winds of 55 to 60 mph with wind gusts to 123 mph were recorded. In downtown Boulder...winds averaged 30 to 40 mph with gusts to 70 mph. Widespread minor damage occurred...especially in the Table Mesa area of south Boulder. Much tree damage occurred in the older areas of Boulder where several trees were uprooted. A mobile home was overturned by the winds. At Stapleton Airport...west winds gusted to 43 mph on the 25th and 37 mph on the 26th. In 1975...from the 25th into the 26th...strong winds damaged utility lines...buildings...vehicles...trees...and power lines in Boulder and other communities to the north of Boulder. Microburst winds gusted to 45 mph at Stapleton International Airport on the 25th. In 1983...from the 25th into the 26th...heavy rain fell in the foothills west of Denver with 1.50 inches in 30 minutes at Intercanyon. Heavy rain continued over metro Denver on the 26th with two-day storm totals at many locations ranging from 1.00 to 2.50 inches. Rainfall totaled 1.37 inches at Stapleton International Airport on the 26th. In 1985...from the 25th into the 26th...one to two inches of rain fell over metro Denver. At Stapleton International Airport...rainfall totaled 0.93 inches...thunderstorm winds gusted to 44 mph...and 7/10 inch hail was measured. The airmass was unusually cold for the season...and snow fell in the foothills above 8 thousand feet. The high temperature of only 63 degrees on the 26th equaled the record low maximum reading for the date. In 2012...Denver broke the all-time record temperature for the month of June on the 25th when it reached 105 degrees. This also tied the all-time record maximum temperature in Denver. The maximum temperature of 105 degrees was then matched once more on the 26th. Sandwiched in between these records...the minimum temperature of 71 on the morning of the 26th... established a new record high minimum for the date. 26 In 1873...there was a great deal of smoke from a large forest fire in the mountains to the southwest of the city and a smaller fire directly to the west. In 1874...fires at timberline to the west were visible from the city. New and extensive fires were continually started from south to northwest along the ridge line. Carelessness of tourists was the apparent cause of the fires. Large and valuable tracts of timber had already been destroyed. In 1890...the only thunderstorm of the month produced a trace of rain. A trace of rain also fell on 7 other days. This was the only precipitation recorded during the month... making it the driest June on record. In 1893...northwest winds were sustained to 45 mph with gusts to 48 mph. In 1971...a microburst wind gust to 58 mph was recorded at Stapleton International Airport. Dust devils were sighted. In 1980...strong gusty thunderstorm winds damaged several mobile homes in Thornton. Thunderstorm winds gusted to 37 mph at Stapleton International Airport.

It was on the ground for 15 minutes and did no reported damage. In 1989...two inch diameter hail fell at Kassler...1 inch hail at Louviers...and 1 1/2 inch hail at Tiny Town. In 1991...high winds...not associated with thunderstorms... damaged a home in the Green Mountain area. The strong winds picked up a heavy metal and glass table on the deck of a house and threw it into the house. The table was destroyed and the house received considerable damage. In 1992...3/4 inch diameter hail fell in south Aurora and near Buckley Air National Guard Base. Golf ball size hail was reported in Parker. In 1994...the all-time highest recorded temperature in June and the second highest temperature ever recorded in Denver... 104 degrees occurred. This was the hottest day in Denver since August 8...1878...when the temperature reached 105 degrees. In 2005...strong thunderstorm winds gusting to 58 mph damaged a garage and some nearby trees near Fort Lupton. Winds also gusted to 58 mph near Watkins. Thunderstorm winds gusted to 60 mph near Roggen. Hail to 3/4 inch in diameter was measured in southwest Aurora. In 2009...severe thunderstorms moving through Denver and the surrounding metro area produced intense thunderstorm winds. At Denver International Airport...a wind gust blew a luggage car into a Southwest Airlines airplane causing some damage. Peak wind gusts included: 68 mph at Denver International Airport...4 miles west of Rocky Mountain Metropolitan Airport and 12.5 miles north of Lowry AFB; 64 mph near Arvada and Parker; and 60 mph in Aurora/Cherry. In 2014...a severe thunderstorm produced a peak wind gust to 58 mph...9 miles northeast of Denver International Airport. Offically...a peak wind gust to 54 mph was measured from the northeast with just a trace of rainfall. 26-27 In 1965...from the 26th into the 27th...wind gusts to 38 mph were recorded in downtown Boulder...causing widespread minor damage.

All current and proposed products would be reformatted into a "What," "Where," "When," "Impacts" information format. Impacts will be displayed below the What, Where, When information with "Precautionary/Preparedness Actions" listed below the Impacts for each product. NWS Weather Forecast Offices (WFO) also will have an option to include "Additional Details" below the Impacts and above the Precautionary/Preparedness. If a WFO has issued active NPW hazards on September 24, the office will start reformat after those hazards have ended. WFOs that do not have active NPW hazards in effect on this date will implement the change September 24. A public survey on proposed reformatting and consolidation of these hazard products closed on June 15, 2018. See Public Information Statement 18-11 below: https://www.weather.gov/media/notification/pdfs/pns18- 11npw_hazsimp.pdf With over 5,000 responses, there was strong approval for reformatting (76 percent) of products.

This is the third in a series of five public information statements to be issued by the National Weather Service Office in Gray, Maine containing information on lightning and lightning safety. LIGHTNING SAFETY AND SPORTS ACTIVITIES Whether you're out kicking a ball around with a friend, or at a major sports event, you should be prepared to get to a safe place if a thunderstorm threatens. From 2006 to 2018, sports activities (golf, soccer, running, baseball, football, etc.) contributed to 32 lightning deaths in the United States. In many cases, those involved in the activities failed to realize the developing danger. For anyone outside, whether you're involved in sports or another outdoor activity, keep an eye on the sky and head to safety at the first sign of a developing or approaching storm. If you hear thunder, you're already in danger and should head inside a substantial building or hard-topped vehicle immediately. Officials in charge of organized sports should have a lightning safety plan, and those involved in the sport (and their parents) should understand the plan and know what to do. The plan should include where the participants and spectators go for safety, when the event should be stopped, when the event should be resumed, and who is in charge of making weather-related safety decisions. It's also important to designate a person to monitor conditions and to keep those in charge informed of weather- related threats. The plan should also account for the time required to get everyone to safety. The National Weather Service has developed toolkits which provide templates to help design a safety plan. Those toolkits can be found at: https://www.weather.gov/safety/lightning-toolkits Whether you're out for a run, watching your child's game, or attending a major sports event, remember that there's no safe place outside in a thunderstorm. When thunder roars, go indoors! Question of the day: Are there more golfers killed by lightning than by any other activity? While golfing is very dangerous when a thunderstorm is in the area, from 2006-2018, soccer contributed to more sports-related lightning fatalities than golf. During that time, golfing led to 10 fatalities. This compares with 12 for soccer, 5 for running, 3 for baseball, and 1 for football. In comparison, fishing led to 38 lightning deaths, more than all sports combined. Here's a list of topics for other days this week.

Today we discuss outdoor lightning risk reduction. Outdoors is the most dangerous place to be during a thunderstorm. Each year, nearly all people in the United States who are injured or killed by lightning were involved in an outdoor activity. They were struck while working outside, were at or participating at an outdoor sporting event, or were boating or fishing. Other examples include people struck while they were hiking, mowing the lawn or simply going to or from their car. Quite a few were on their own property when they were struck. Unfortunately, there is no place outside that is safe from lightning. The only safe place to be when lightning is occurring is either inside a substantial building, or an enclosed automobile. For more information on outdoor lightning risk reduction, please visit this web page: weather.gov/pub and in the news headline section, click on the lightning safety web link and choose Wednesdays statement.

In 1986, Hill City Kansas reached 110 degrees, tying its all time record high and setting the record high for the month of June. In 1989, thunderstorms in Kansas produced wind gusts to 90 mph at Liberal, and hail four inches in diameter at Quinter. In 2012, the temperature reached 115 degrees in McCook, Nebraska, the highest temperature ever recorded at that location. $$  084 NOUS41 KWBC 261215 PNSWSH Service Change Notice 19-57 National Weather Service Headquarters Silver Spring MD 815 AM EDT Wed Jun 26 2019 To: Subscribers: -NOAA Weather Wire Service -Emergency Managers Weather Information Network -NOAAPORT Other NWS Partners, Users and Employees From: Michelle Hawkins, Chief Severe, Fire, Public, and Winter Weather Services Branch Subject: Changes to Public Forecast Zones for WFO Albuquerque, NM, effective September 10, 2019 On Tuesday, September 10, 2019, at 1200 PM Mountain Daylight Time (MDT), 1800 Coordinated Universal Time (UTC), the NWS Weather Forecast Office in Albuquerque, NM, (ABQ) will realign public zones within the ABQ area of responsibility. If September 10, 2019, is declared as a Critical Weather Day, this implementation will be postponed to Thursday, September 12, 2019. These changes are intended to provide increased flexibility and improved accuracy of forecast, watch, warning and advisory products in the public programs. Twenty-four (24) current zones will be adjusted and one (1) new zone will be created. To streamline these changes, all forecast zones will be renumbered to begin with 201 and continue through 241. The changes are designed to optimize the issuance of hazard products for conditions that vary significantly across northern and central New Mexico. The specific details are below: NMZ501 (Northwest Plateau) - Locations along and west of U.S. Highway 550 will be relocated from NMZ503 to NMZ201. The U.S. Highway 550 and State Route 170 corridors are more representative of the climate regime found in NMZ201 compared to eastern NMZ503, and this will improve communication of hazardous weather events that impact commerce, particularly during the winter season. NMZ502 (Chuska Mountains) - The southern extent of this zone will be shifted north of State Route 264. This will place the highway in NMZ205, which is a better representation of the climate regime and will help in communication of hazardous weather impacts, especially during the winter season and high wind events. NMZ503 (Far Northwest Highlands) - This zone will expand east- southeast to include a larger portion of the northwest highlands. This shift removes the highlands from the higher terrain (NMZ510) and will improve communication of hazardous weather impacts, especially during the winter season and high wind events. The communities of Monero, Brazos, Tierra Amarilla, El Vado, Lindrith, and Heron Lake State Park will be located in NMZ203. A greater portion of U.S. Highways 64/84 and State Routes 112, 537 and 595 will move into this zone. NMZ504 (Northwest Highlands) - The northeast quadrant of this zone will be relocated to NMZ203 as described above. NMZ505 (West Central Plateau) - The northwest part of this zone will be shifted north as described in the NMZ502 section. NMZ506 (West Central Mountains) - A small portion of this zone will expand south to accommodate significant changes to NMZ508 as described below. This adjustment does not impact any communities or travel corridors. NMZ508 (Southwest Mountains) - The Plains of San Agustin and the adjacent lowlands will be separated into a new zone (NMZ241) due to the significant differences in weather climatology with the nearby mountains. NMZ208 will generally follow the 7,000 or 7,500 feet terrain contour. NMZ509 (San Francisco River Valley) - This zone will expand northeast within the San Francisco River Valley to capture elevations below 7,000 feet. This change will improve communication of winter, hydrologic and freeze events. The communities of Aragon and Apache Creek will be located in NMZ209, as well as a greater portion of State Routes 12 and 32. This adjustment ensures U.S. Highway 180 remains within NMZ209 before exiting the San Francisco River Valley, improving communication of travel impacts. The far southeast border of this zone will be adjusted to better align with NMZ401-402 found within the County Warning Area (CWA) of WFO El Paso. NMZ510 (Tusas Mountains including Chama) - The western part of this zone will be relocated to NMZ203 as described above. The eastern boundary previously straddled U.S. Highway 285 and will be moved eastward to improve communication of hazardous weather, especially during the winter season. This adjustment ensures San Antonio Mountain will remain in the higher elevation zone (NMZ210). In addition, the name of this zone will change from the San Juan Mountains to Tusas Mountains including Chama to be consistent with the United States Geological Survey (USGS) Geographic Names Information System (GNIS). NMZ511 (Jemez Mountains) - Two small sections will be removed from NMZ511. The first section includes the area north of Regina and west of Gallina, and will improve communication of hazardous weather impacts along State Routes 96 and 595. U.S. Highway 550 in the southwest corner of this zone will be relocated to NMZ219. Note: Current zones encompassing the Sangre de Cristo Mountains of northern New Mexico (NMZ512 through NMZ515) will change significantly to improve communication of hazardous weather conditions throughout the year and will better reflect the climatology across this region. NMZ512 (Glorieta Mesa including Glorieta Pass) - The western slopes of the Sangre de Cristo Mountains will be redistributed to neighboring zones (including NMZ213, NMZ214, NMZ216, NMZ217 and NMZ218). The southern part of NMZ512 will expand south to include additional terrain between 7,000 to 7,500 feet, particularly near the Interstate 25 corridor. This will allow a greater portion of State Route 34 to be located within southern NMZ212. In addition, the name of this zone will change from the West Slopes of the Sangre de Cristo Mountains to Glorieta Mesa including Glorieta Pass. NMZ513 (Northern Sangre de Cristo Mountains) - The elevation of NMZ513 was lowered to account for the adjustment of NMZ512 described above and will expand south to include the northern portions of the Sangre de Cristo Mountains of New Mexico. This will relocate the communities of Amalia, Lama and Shady Brook as well as U.S. Highway 64 into this zone. The name of this zone was adjusted to remove the elevation reference. NMZ514 (Southern Sangre de Cristo Mountains) - The elevation of NMZ514 was lowered to account for the adjustment of NMZ512 described above and will expand north to include the southern portions of the Sangre de Cristo Mountains of New Mexico. This change will relocate the communities of Llano, Llano Largo, Truchas, Cowles, and Tres Ritos as well as a good part of State Route 518 within NMZ214. The name of this zone was adjusted to remove the elevation reference. NMZ515 (East Slopes of the Sangre de Cristo Mountains) - The west central and southwest portion of this zone will be relocated to NMZ214 as a result of the changes described in the NMZ513 and NMZ514 sections. NMZ516 (Upper Rio Grande Valley) - The western portion of this zone will be relocated to NMZ210 as described above. The eastern zone border will align with the NMZ213 and NMZ214 borders as described in those sections. The communities of Costilla, Cerro, Questa, San Cristobal, Valdez and Arroyo Seco will be relocated to NMZ216, which is a better representation the climatology and hazardous weather in this region. State Route 522 will be located entirely within this zone. NMZ517 (Espanola Valley) - The eastern border of this zone will align with the NMZ214 border as described above. Picuris Pueblo, Rio Lucio, Vadito, Chamisal, Penasco, and Rodarte will be relocated to this zone. In addition, parts of State Routes 73, 75 and 76 will be found in NMZ217. The name of this zone will change from Lower Chama River Valley to Espanola Valley to be consistent with the USGS GNIS. NMZ518 (Santa Fe Metro Area) - The northeast border of this zone will align with the NMZ212 and NMZ214 border as described above. A larger portion of State Route 475 will be relocated to this zone. NMZ519 (Albuquerque Metro Area) - U.S. Highway 550 was relocated from NMZ511 to NMZ219, specifically the area west of San Ysidro. This will help in communication of hazardous weather impacts, especially during the winter season and high wind events. NMZ521 (Sandia/Manzano Mountains including Edgewood) - A section of the eastern border will expand east to include the growing community of Edgewood. A larger portion of Interstate 40 and Historic Route 66 will be located in this zone. The name of this zone will be adjusted to include Edgewood. NMZ522 (Estancia Valley) - The northwest border of this zone will be relocated to NMZ221 as described above. NMZ523 (Central Highlands) - The northern border of this zone will be relocated to NMZ212 as described within that section. This adjustment does not impact any communities or major travel corridors. NMZ525 (Upper Tularosa Valley) - The far southeast border of this zone will better align with NMZ414 found within the CWA of WFO El Paso. This adjustment does not impact any communities or major travel corridors. NMZ526 (South Central Mountains) - The far southwest border of this zone will be relocated to NMZ225 as described above. NMZ527 (Johnson and Bartlett Mesas including Raton Pass) - The name of this zone will change from Raton Ridge/Johnson Mesa to Johnson and Bartlett Mesas including Raton Pass given Raton Ridge is not considered a geographical description within the USGS GNIS database. NMZ241 (San Agustin Plains and Adjacent Lowlands) - This new zone, previously encompassing NMZ508, will include the San Augustin Plains and adjacent lowlands. This adjustment will better reflect the climatology in this region and allow for improved communication of hazardous weather. The community of Datil, the National Radio Astronomy Observatory, and parts of U.S. Highway 60 as well as State Routes 12, 52, 107, 166, and 169 will be relocated to this zone.

Lightning Facts... The National Weather Service (NWS) Boston, MA has declared June 24 through June 28 as Lightning Safety Awareness Week. Each day during the awareness week will feature information about a different lightning related topic. While lightning can be fascinating to watch, it is also a potential killer. In the United States, there are between 20 and 25 million cloud to ground lightning flashes each year. Each one of those 25 million flashes is a potential killer. In addition to the deaths and injuries, lightning causes considerable damage across the nation. Each year, lightning is the cause of about 25,000 fires, including about 4400 house fires, 1800 other structural fires, and numerous forest fires. Those fires are responsible for an additional estimated 12 deaths per year. All totaled, lightning causes nearly $1 billion in damages each year. Remember there is no safe place outside during a thunderstorm.

It crossed Highway 614 and created a clear path from near 614 to the marina. At the marina, 2 piers (which were connected to other piers as an extension) broke loose and were pushed out into the bay, dragging concrete block tie downs along the floor of the bay. These piers sustained major damage to roofs and connections between the piers. The piers which were connected to the shore were damaged not only at the connection point between piers but also at the connection to the shore. Electrical systems were destroyed along with gang planks between the shore and piers. There were 4 piers connected to the shore. The two piers that were damaged were the inside 2 piers, with the outside piers sustaining minor damage. .Kentucky Dam Golf Course Microburst...

If September 10, 2019, is declared as a Critical Weather Day, this implementation will be postponed to Thursday, September 12, 2019. These changes have been extensively coordinated with the Great Plains Interagency Dispatch Center Operations Committee and Board of Directors and other local, state, federal and tribal partners. New zone numbers are required with this change. The current fire weather forecast zone numbers in northeastern Wyoming are: WYZ259, WYZ297, WYZ298, and WYZ299. The current zone numbers in western South Dakota are: SDZ260, SDZ261, SDZ262, SDZ263, SDZ264, SDZ265 and SDZ266 The new fire weather forecast zone numbers in northeastern Wyoming are: WYZ314, WYZ315, WYZ316, WYZ317, and WYZ318 The new fire weather zone forecast numbers in western SD are: SDZ319, SDZ320, SDZ321, SDZ322, SDZ323, SDZ324, SDZ325, SDZ326, SDZ327 (also covers part of far northeastern WY), SDZ328, SDZ329, SDZ330, SDZ331, SDZ332, SDZ333, SDZ334 and SDZ335. The specific details are explained below. WYZ314 (Northern Campbell) and WYZ315 (Southern Campbell) remain the same but have new zone numbers (formerly WYZ297 and WYZ259). WYZ316 (Crook County Plains) and WYZ317 (Weston County Plains) are split in half at the Crook and Weston County line (formerly WYZ298). The climatology suggests that there are significant differences in relative humidity and wind speeds between these two new zones. Also, the far northeastern part of Crook County is split off from the Crook County Plains (see SDZ327 below for details). WYZ318 (Wyoming Black Hills) remains the same but has a new zone number (formerly WYZ299). SDZ319 (Northern Black Hills) excludes the northern foothills (formerly part of SDZ260) and includes parts of former SDZ262 (Southern Black Hills). This change is driven by the precipitation climatology to focus on the area that receives the greatest rainfall. SDZ320 (Central Black Hills) excludes the eastern foothills and Southern Black Hills (both formerly part of SDZ262). This change is driven by the temperature and precipitation climatology, which differs from both the northern and southern Black Hills, as well as the eastern foothills. SDZ321 (Southern Black Hills) excludes the central Black Hills and southern/eastern foothills (formerly part of SDZ262). This change is driven by the temperature and precipitation climatology, which differs from the rest of the Black Hills and surrounding foothills. SDZ322 (Fall River County Area) excludes the Southern Black Hills and the plains of eastern Fall River and southern Oglala Lakota Counties (formerly part of zones SDZ262 and SDZ263). This change is driven by the warmer and drier climatology of the far southwestern South Dakota plains. SDZ323 (Northern Foot Hills) is a subset of the Northern Black Hills (formerly SDZ260). The temperature and precipitation in this zone are notably different from the Northern Black Hills. SDZ324 (Eastern Foot Hills) is a subset of the Northern and Southern Black Hills (formerly in zones SDZ260 and SDZ262). The temperature and precipitation are notably different in this zone from the Northern and Southern Black Hills. SDZ325 (Custer County Plains) is a subset of the Southern Black Hills and Badlands Area (formerly in zones SDZ262 and SDZ264). The Custer County Plains have a notably different temperature, wind, and precipitation pattern than these former two zones. SDZ326 (Pine Ridge Area) is a subset of the Southwestern South Dakota zone (formerly SDZ263). The elevated/forested area of the Pine Ridge results in a different wind flow, temperature and precipitation pattern when compared to the far southwestern part of South Dakota. SDZ327 (Butte County Area) is a subset of the large Northwestern South Dakota zone (formerly SDZ261) and also includes far northeastern Wyoming, including Colony (formerly part of WYZ298). This change is a result of the temperature, precipitation and wind climatology for the area, which is notably different from places to the east. SDZ328 (Perkins County) is a subset of the large Northwestern South Dakota zone (formerly SDZ261). This change is a result of the temperature, precipitation and wind climatology for the area, which is notably different from places to the south and west. SDZ329 (West Central Plains) is a subset of the large Northwestern South Dakota zone (formerly SDZ261). This change is a result of the temperature, precipitation, and wind climatology for the area, which is notably different from places to the northwest and north. SDZ330 (Ziebach County) is a subset of the Central South Dakota zone (formerly SDZ266). This change is related to the downslope and upslope flow differences to the north and south of the Cheyenne River. SDZ331 (Haakon County Area) is a subset of the Central South Dakota, Badlands Area, and South Central South Dakota zones (formerly SDZ266, SDZ264, and SDZ265, respectively). There are notable differences in the climatology between this new zone and the former zones. SDZ332 (Badlands Area) closely resembles the previous Badlands Area (formerly SDZ264) but has been refined to better represent the actual Badlands boundary as well as the terrain. SDZ333 (Bennett County Area) is a subset of South Central South Dakota (formerly SDZ265). The temperature and precipitation climatology supports a break in this zone. SDZ334 (Mellette and Todd Counties) is a subset of South Central South Dakota (formerly SDZ265). The temperature and precipitation climatology supports a break in this zone. SDZ335 (Tripp County) is a subset of South Central South Dakota (formerly SDZ265). The temperature and precipitation climatology supports a break in this zone, especially is it becomes notably more moist toward the east.

This decision comes after years of social science research with NWS forecasters, public, and partners: https://www.weather.gov/hazardsimplification/references A key finding during this process has been the high level of misunderstanding around the term Advisory. Research has found that users frequently confuse Watch and Advisory, considering them almost as synonyms. In line with these results, this change would retain our current Watch and Warning terms but remove Advisory as a headline term. The end goal would be a simpler, two-term headline system in which a significant event is either Prepare (Watch) or Act (Warning) paradigm used by emergency managers. To clarify, this would not result in elimination of Advisory-level information; rather, it is an opportunity to explore how we could communicate this information in a different, more intuitive way. As a part of this change, we will explore expanding the use of the headline "Emergency" beyond Tornado and Flash Flood for selected hazards. It is important to note that NWS has not yet made a formal implementation decision. Prior to a formal implementation decision, NWS will continue engaging with partners and stakeholders to gather technical concerns and general feedback regarding this change. As an initial engagement, NWS partners are welcome to attend one of two identical webinars to discuss this proposed change and may register as shown below: July 24, 2:00pm - 3:30pm EDT at: https://register.gotowebinar.com/register/4466654237367171074 July 25, 2019, 10:00am - 11:30am EDT at: https://register.gotowebinar.com/register/729074465463573250 For those unable to attend either of these webinars, we also welcome comments at hazsimp@noaa.gov For further details on the Haz Simp project, you can visit: https://www.weather.gov/hazardsimplification/ National Public Information Statements are online at: https://www.weather.gov/notification/  094 NOUS43 KGRB 261723 PNSGRB Public Information Statement National Weather Service Green Bay WI 1223 PM CDT Wed Jun 26 2019 WIZ005-010>013-018>022-030-031-035>040-045-048>050-073-074-262330- Vilas-Oneida-Forest-Florence-Northern Marinette County-Lincoln- Langlade-Menominee-Northern Oconto County-Door-Marathon-Shawano- Wood-Portage-Waupaca-Outagamie-Brown-Kewaunee-Waushara-Winnebago- Calumet-Manitowoc-Southern Marinette County- Southern Oconto County- 1223 PM CDT Wed Jun 26 2019 ...NOAA WEATHER RADIO OUTAGE...

There was a significant amount of straight line wind damage across southern Allen County. Most of this damage had wind speeds between 60-65 MPH all facing east southeast direction. There were two significant areas of straight line wind damage. There was a barn north of Amos on Highway 99. The second was two large barns just north of Hayesville, TN. Interspersed amongst the straight line wind damage was a tornado which first touched down a half mile east of Amos. A family farm had numerous trees twisted, snapped, and uprooted. Several barns sustained severe structural damage to the roofs. A dozen or so portions of two by fours were impaled into the ground in multiple directions. Further southeast on Highland Church Road numerous trees were uprooted and snapped with trees facing from the north northeast to the southeast direction. There was clear evidence that the tornado went to the Tennessee state line in Macon County as we could see trees snapped and uprooted on the state line which correlates well the NWS Nashville storm survey across Macon County. At 2592 Highland Church Road (Highland General Baptist Church) there was significant brick damage on the West, South and East sides of the Church due to open vents. The survey crew zig zagged across roads south of Scottsville to Highway 31 but only found sporadic straight line tree and barn damage all facing southeasterly direction. The very last concentrated area of damage the team found was at 444 Old Buck Creek Road were there was numerous softwood tree damage at the residence with power poles down across the road. The National Weather Service would like to thank WBKO Meteorologist Shane Holinde, WKU meteorology student Matthew Wine, NWS student volunteers Evan Hatter and Olivia Cahill, and future meteorologist Cooper Bennett with their assistance with the storm survey.

Today we discuss outdoor lightning risk reduction. Outdoors is the most dangerous place to be during a thunderstorm. Each year, nearly all people in the United States who are injured or killed by lightning were involved in an outdoor activity. They were struck while working outside, were at or participating at an outdoor sporting event, or were boating or fishing. Other examples include people struck while they were hiking, mowing the lawn or simply going to or from their car. Quite a few were on their own property when they were struck. Unfortunately, there is no place outside that is safe from lightning. The only safe place to be when lightning is occurring is either inside a substantial building, or an enclosed automobile. For more information on outdoor lightning risk reduction, please visit this web page: weather.gov/pub and in the news headline section, click on the lightning safety web link and choose Wednesdays statement.
