This Map was Highlight, and used from GRlevelx2 Radar Program zoomed in to show Polk County. Here is a Nice map That Dirk from Dirk's Forecasting Center highlighted to show Severe weather hotspots of Polk County, using the GRlevelx2 Radar Program Map. Him and I were talking and discussing about it over the past Few days. The area Highlighted on this map are areas that get more severe weather the the rest of the county. They are the Severe weather hotspots. Though it may Vary from year to year and which way storms are coming from. Dirk Spent quite a few hours getting Information for this Map. This map is based off of Actual Severe weather reports taken from the last 30 years He also used data from his Chaser longs. I Especially like what was done with the southern part of the county, I like how he included the areas near Clayton, Which would appear to include my house, not areas to the north of Clayton, I think it fits perfectly. Please be sure to visit his website, Dirk has a Map of Barron County hotspots posted Here

Thanks Derek...It was a fun but very long project..
Interesting. I am curious to see how this severe weather season pans out compared to the maps!
Your Welcome Dirk Very well done Make, Good I Idea OSNW3, We will have to watch that!
The maps are base on over 30+ years reports and studies to present time,Not to sound mean, the maps will not show what may happen this year...The maps are to show everyone where the average areas in both Counties get more severe weather than other parts..This year could be awhole new ball game...Just like temps you will have your warm days,then you will have your cold days..But when averaged out like this winter for up here,have been way below norms...This weekend I will make my a severe thunderstorm outlook for the spring summer,and fall..Will do ie.above norms below norms,or norm...Will make up another map showing where the storms will happen the most this year...These can be the maps to compare with,not the other ones
