The input data comes from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncdc.noaa.gov\/stormevents\/\">NOAA&#8217;s Storm Events Database<\/a>, which documents significant weather events with sufficient intensity to cause loss of life, injuries, or substantial property damage. The database contains point locations and includes date ranges for each event type: hail (1955\u20132023), tornadoes (1950\u20132023), and severe wind (1955\u20132023). In total, the dataset used includes 74,299 tornadoes, 494,107 severe wind events, and 379,295 hail events.<\/p>\n<p>These event points were processed using the <a href=\"https:\/\/pro.arcgis.com\/en\/pro-app\/latest\/tool-reference\/spatial-analyst\/space-time-kernel-density.htm\">Space Time Kernel Density<\/a> tool. For this analysis, a spatial bandwidth of 240 kilometers, a temporal bandwidth of 30 days, and a cell size of 80 kilometers were specified (roughly equivalent to the values used by NOAA). The tool calculates smoothed density values and converts them into expected counts, representing the probability of severe weather occurrence at each location over time. Additionally, the kernel smoothing helps address locational and temporal uncertainty in the dataset, mitigating inaccuracies in the reported event coordinates.<\/p>\n<p>Once the expected counts were generated by the kernel density tool, they were aggregated into recurring daily values (one map for each Julian day of the year) using the <a href=\"https:\/\/pro.arcgis.com\/en\/pro-app\/latest\/tool-reference\/spatial-analyst\/aggregate-multidimensional-raster.htm\">Aggregate Multidimensional Raster<\/a> tool. This step created daily averages for each location, representing the likelihood of severe weather on any given day of the year.
