In particular, her numerical modeling studies investigate the influence of temporal and spatial variations in environmental shear and/or convective available potential energy on storm strength, rotational properties, and longevity. Her observational work has focused on understanding storm rotation, in particular tornado genesis and maintenance, using mobile radars and other instruments to collect fine-scale observations of thunderstorms and tornadoes.

Toohey-Morales was part of the Department of Commerce Silver Medal winning NWS San Juan team for "distinguished, at time heroic service during…Hurricane Hugo." As a broadcast meteorologist, he's won three regional Emmy awards. His experience in all sectors of the weather enterprise led to his selection as one of the charter members of the Environmental Information Services Working Group (EISWG)

His studies include "basic" science, applied research, and rapid reconnaissance post- disaster fieldwork studies. Recent projects have focused on disaster researcher and practitioner integration; warnings, risk perception, and protective action decision m aking for short fuse hazards; post hurricane housing decisions; household insurance and mitigation decision, and multiorganizational response systems.
