Greg is stepping through the replay of tonight’s event comparing the HWT warnings with the NWS warnings.

First impressions with MRMS from the forecasters:

Bill – took a while to get used to MRMS data

All- liked the trending info

Daniel N. – interested in combining base data with MRMS data in a 4-panel.  Also found track info helpful in polygon issuance

Steve – MRMS data helpful particularly when storms went near/over radar.  Expressed concern about the difference between MRMS “X above Y” compared to single radar data and model soundings.  Found Rotationtracks quite usedul.

Discussion – usefulness of “X above Y” products when dual-pol comes along.  Will these become obsolete?  All agreed that this would be very useful in reanalysis
