The Enhanced Fujita Scale went into effect in February 2007. The National Weather Service will now rate tornado damage according to the new guidelines. For more information on the EF-Scale...Click Here. For simplicity, the F-Scale will remain the main descriptor in this database and it will be implied that the ratings are based on the EF-Scale starting February 2007. 

SPC modified the Days 1-3 Convective Outlooks on October 22, 2014. The outlooks will now contain a Marginal Categorical Outlook (previous See Text) and an Enhanced Slight Risk. Click Here for more Information
