Daily Summary – 7 June 2010

Posted in Daily Summaries on by Kevin Manross.

Group issued warnings until 0140 (8 June).  Seemed to take to analysis very quickly.  Several forecasters are already getting used to products.  We’ve gone ahead and asked them to fill out a survey (online – yay).  In the end, we had Andy and Frank issues warnings in North Platte’s (LBF) CWA after an attempt at GLD.  Dan N, Dan D, and Pat S focused on CYS all night and issued several SVR and TOR warnings.  We will spend a good amount of time tomorrow morning debriefing tonight’s event.

Technical issues of the Day:

  • Nothing major

Greg is showing the MRMS/GOES-R products on AWIPS.  We’re focusing on the storms on the WY/NE border in the N part of the NWS CYS CWA.  Soon we will sit the dorecasters down and have them get their feet wet.

Outlook – 7 June 2010

Posted in Outlooks on by Kevin Manross.

Today we start week 8 of the 2010 EWP.  Our visitors are Frank Alsheimer (WFO Charleston, SC), Dan Darbe (WFO Atlanta/Peachtree City, GA), Daniel Nietfeld (WFO Omaha, NE), Pat Spoden (WFO Paducah, KY), and Andy Taylor (Norman, OK).

We will start with training the forecasters on the new products they will see.  Training will start with GOES-R products (CI & Overshooting Tops-Thermal Couplet), followed immediately by LMA/GLM training.  We will take a break an then do MRMS training likely followed by observing realtime products to get the forecasters used to looking at the data.

Regarding today’s outlook.  There is a large slight risk area across the Central & High Plains stretching west across the WY/CO border and terminating in the northern half of Utah.

There is not strong confidence in getting much in the way of SVR in the OK domain today (the best chance of SVR among all the possible domains).  We will likely run our Introductory IOP in our Floater Domain and likely set that near NE CO/SW NE / SE WY where there is currently an MD as this entry is being typed.
