Plot Description:

This chart attempts to display the period between the first and last VTEC enabled watch, warning or advisory issuance by year. For some long term products, like Flood Warnings, this plot does not attempt to show the time domain that those products were valid, only the issuance. The right two plots display the total number of events and the total number of dates with at least one event.

The left plot can be colorized by either coloring the event counts per day or the accumulated "year/season to date" total.

For the purposes of this plot, an event is defined by a single VTEC event identifier usage. For example, a single Tornado Watch covering 10 counties only counts as one event. The simple average is computed over the years excluding the first and last year.

When you split this plot by 1 July, the year shown is for the year of the second half of this period, ie 2020 is 1 Jul 2019 - 30 Jun 2020.

Based on a sampling of recent timings for this application, plot generation time has averaged 4 seconds. Hold on for the plot is generating now!
