Possible software guidance for future: Encircle large area and grid points exceeding some threshold value (e.g., MESH > 1.25 in) gives an initial first guess polygon for threat area.

Team 1 is expecting their storm to decrease in intensity as it moves off the terrain and are going to begin issuing warnings on the storm NW of Roswell (Chaves Co). Velocities from KFDX are not good on WDSSII, so will begin with hail threat and then possibly tackle tor next (funnel cloud reported with storm). They have also tackled the hail threat on a separate storm in far SW Chaves Co.

Team 2 is discussing possibilities of probabilities of hail > 2 in or 3 in (sig hail?). Move to allowing others (the public) to decide what is important for themselves (e.g, different thresholds for action)–the NWS issues probabilities of events occurring (not warnings)…
