When was the latest MOD or High Risk Day?

[ericjkelly]

Hey friends!

Sitting here in Colorado about to take out all of my chasing gear from the car (getting ready to sell it). It got me wondering today....When was the latest Mod or High Risk Day in any calendar year? Seems like we are about done for 2013, but I wonder!

Anyone remember a day?

There have been moderate risks in December...

Here's the Christmas Day moderate for last year (2012): http://www.spc.noaa.gov/products/outlook/archive/2012/day1otlk_20121225_1630.html

The Wikipedia page is a great resource for looking up high risk days and checking stats on them:

Selling the car or the chasing gear?!


That page Skip linked to is pretty useful indeed. I see a July 31st and an August 27 in there as far as the spring-summer storm season goes. A couple of Novembers and Decembers too, but thats part of the usual brief fall season I would think.

If you are more interested in tornadoes events alone, since high risk ratings include wind and hail also, Wikipedia has great summaries of tornado seasons with descriptions of each outbreak. Simply searching Tornadoes of 2013 brings up this year, for example.
