The forecaster covering the southern Norman WFO noticed the tornado probability from ProbSevere Version 2 (All Hazards) rapidly increasing between 2114 and 2124 UTC Wednesday afternoon (Figue 1). The rapid increase in tornado probabilities was due to rapidly strengthening low-level circulation. ProbSevere here aided the forecaster to issue an experimental tornado warning--increasing lead-time and confidence in his decision making. Storm chaser live video showed a tornado developed at 2139 UTC.
