Another new Hotseat Scenario

Another new Hotseat Scenario. (Iowa City outbreak)

Here is the newest scenario for the NWS hot seat simulator. This scenario is of the Iowa City tornado outbreak. This outbreak not only had many tornadoes but also 5+ inch hail and damaging winds over 60-65 MPH. One confirmed report says 3 tornadoes were on the ground at the same time by Muscatine. The tornado that moved through Iowa City was a Strong EF2 tornado. I started this scenario but could not finish it due to problems with java so Clark Safford helped me with it and he did a good job completing it.

Here is the link for the other scenarios. This makes 6 scenarios total and another scenario that should be finished soon.

That's very nice! It found it very interesting, and just not simple to do. Thanks for sharing the link.

These hot seat simulator's are educational and a lot of fun. It always makes me appreciate the meteorologists more and more who issue types of warnings bases on radar visuals. Also during real crazy severe weather days where one forecast area could be under the gun for an entire afternoon or night has to be tiresome/stressful.

Thanks, for posting these hot seat scenarios.
