Balloon Launch
On 2 April, Temple Lee, Tom Wood, Randy White, Dominick Christensen, and Kurt Daniels performed a rawinsonde launch from ATDD as requested by colleagues from the NWS Weather Forecast Office in Morristown, TN. Observations from the rawinsonde supported their forecast operations and provided greater situational awareness of the mesoscale environment prior to the forecasted severe weather that impacted the region on 2 April and included a reported tornado ~ 40 km north of ATDD about one hour after the rawinsonde launch.
