Using dual-pol radar products, we detected lofted debris in 16 of the 21 tornadoes that occurred across our forecast area on April 28th. Out of these 16 debris signatures, we detected 12 of them before damage reports were received at our office. This allowed us to enhance the wording in our warnings to mention a confirmed tornado earlier than we would have been able to previously. In fact, had many of these cases occurred in the pre-dual pol era, we would have never received reliable reports quickly enough to enhance the wording in our warnings.
