What's wild is that this SCN mentions NWWS-OI, a horrible + half-baked idea written by yours truly and that only contains a very small subset of noaaport. The SCN does not mention WIS2, which is supposed to be the path forward, but wasn't working last I checked. </rant>

Rare indeed. I don't believe there is another polygon-based tornado warning for Sierra Vista. For 1986-2002 non polygon warnings, perhaps this one from 1993 is the only other one. mesonet.agron.iastate.edu/wx/afos/p.ph...
