The derecho-like event caused wind gusts of 110 to 135 km/h, damaging infrastructure and resulting in a fatality.
An automatic verification tool was developed to objectively evaluate the quality of human forecasts against radar and lightning observations.
The algorithm performed well during the 2024 convective season, but additional data is needed for improved detection of thunderstorms.
Forecasting thunderstorms remains challenging, emphasizing the need for continuous enhancement of observation data.
