Simulated Satellite Imagery – Rather Poor Performance on May 13

Simulated satellite imagery did not perform too well today on May 13. The simulated imagery seemed to be too slow with the development of storms over the Great Lakes, and depicted too much convection across the Mid Atlantic states at 2200 UTC (second image).  Deep moisture indicated by water vapor satellite moved east faster than simulated.
