This past weekend saw another rather significant outbreak of severe weather over Illinois into Indiana. It has been quite the severe weather season over this region as shown by the featured map. The map presents unofficial IEM computed statewide ranks for total number of NWS issued Tornado Warnings. A value of 25 would indicate the most such warnings on record for the given state since at least 2002. The states of Wisconsin, Illinois, and Michigan are shown with the most on record since 2002 with Iowa and Indiana not far behind in relative tally. The map nicely shows the "see-saw" pattern with the near record totals over the eastern corn-belt and much lower values over the southeastern US and especially Texas.
