A neat way to visualize OUNWRF parameters on one display

Gabe, the OUNWRF PI, showed us an interesting way to monitor a few model output fields simultaneously.  The display here includes the model derived radar reflectivity as a background image, with the green contours showing updraft helicity and the salmon contours the maximum hourly column hail.  The display here is consistent with the expected mode of convection over the next few hours…namely, pulse storms or multicell clusters.  With marginal bulk shear values, we aren’t expected a lot of deeply rotating storms, but there will be a large hail and/or damaging wind threat with some of the stronger cores.  I will continue to watch this display through the evening to see how it all pans out.
