Activity Tornadic activity_B/E(hh)mm_ LOC/DIR_(MOV), where
TORNADO, FUNNEL CLOUD, or WATERSPOUT
(See Note 1) identifies the specific tornadic activity, B/E denotes the
beginning and/or ending time, (hh)mm is the time of

occurrence (only the minutes are required if the hour can be
inferred from the report time), LOC/DIR is the location
(distance if known) and/or direction of the phenomena from

the installation, and MOV is the movement, if known.
Tornadic activity will be encoded as the first remark after the
"RMK" entry. For example, "TORNADO B13 6 NE" would
indicate that a tornado, which began at 13 minutes past the
hour, was 6SM northeast of the observing location.
