EWP Status for 7 May 2014: 12:30-8:30 pm Shift

We will begin the day in the DevLab with a debrief of Tuesdays operations in Wyoming and Oklahoma before moving to the HWT at 1pm to join the EFP map discussion.

Severe convection looks a bit more likely over the southern and central plains on Wed. Currently the plan is to operate in the Norman and possibly San Angelo CWAs.  The schedule should allow us to examine the pre-CI environment with multiple GOESR products before transitioning to warning operations.  The Norman  (and Lubbock? — depending on the dryline location) CWAs will be given first priority due to the presence of the Lightning Mapping Arrays.  Hail / wind will likely be the primary threat with these storms.

A region farther north east (Iowa / MN / WI) also currently appears to be a possibility for operations, but CI is likely to occur much later in the day and may not be the best fit for our shift.
