Outlook – 18 May 2010

SPC has issued a Moderate Risk for SE Colorado and the TX/OK panhandles.   HRRR is indicating early initiation in SE CO and a later show in SW KS and the panhandles.

Other notes from the discussion:

  • 2345 and 0015 are GOES-R gaps (0015 is calibration, 2345 is full-disk, which happens every three hours).   Otherwise the data come in every 15 minutes.  0Z is a bad time to start looking at CI products
  • Due to lots of cirrus over the area, the CI products may not see too much use today.  However, expect GOES to operate in rapid-scan mode due to the Moderate Risk.
