Forecasters remained in the MAF and SJT regions through the end of the forecast day focusing mostly on convection initiation products and short-range models. With an extend Cu field across the region and GOES in rapid scan operations, the forecasters observed a severe limitation of the UAH-CI product.  Every 5 to 8 min time step the UAH product would catch minimally growing Cu between the time steps exhibiting a high percentage of false alarms.

Overall, this was a minimal day in terms of testing all EWP experimental products limited by weather and technology with the floater domain unavailable due to a morning raid failure.
