There are several issues preventing SHAVE from keeping up with the storms of interest in order to provide real-time reports. Becaues the LSR’s are pretty timely today, we’ve decided to go ahead and collect high-density reports on the storms that the forecasters are focussing on although it will be delayed. This will let us do a nice comparison in post-analysis although it’s not really helpful for real-time decision-making.
