Live Blog – 28 April 2009 (8:40pm: wrap-up)

MAF started issuing TORs at 7:35pm (CDT).  EWP started at 8:35 CDT.

First take-away – the MESH and ROT tracks giving a better handle on the storm motion, and thus the EWP warning polygons were more to the rifght than the MAF polygons.

For SVR – went from holfball hail to baseball hail, influenced the MESH and the H50_above_H253 (went from 16 to 20 kft).  Ref -20 up to 61 dBZ.

Felt that these products were useful over alltilts – so they looked at WDSSII products more, versus the confort zone of the all tilts analysis.

There were notificaiton issues that affected our SA this evening.  Also, at first, the warnings were not being transmitted – we fixed that later for our MAF exercise.  We didn’t archive any of the ABQ warnings.

Will post images soon…
