ORIGINAL POSTING:

While it is still fresh in everyone's mind, here is yesterday's categorical forecast versus the actual reports of tornadoes, large hail, and damaging thunderstorm winds. It would been an excellent forecast any time of year, but on Christmas (well outside of tornado season), it is just outstanding. This appears was the the biggest tornado outbreak on Christmas Day in history.
