MRMS and ProbSevere – SAD Match made in the EWP

Wanting a good way to keep up on the environment while also monitoring for storm development?  Give this combo a tryout (and note, I totally stole this from another EWP participant this week.  Why?  Because it works!)

Top left: MRMS Reflectivity at Lowest Altitude (RALA), Reflectivity at -20C, ProbSevere All
Top right: MRMS Maximum EstimatedSize of Hail (MESH), MRMS 60 Minute Hail Tracks (50%             Alpha), ProbHail
Bottom left: MRMS Vertically Integrated Liquid (VIL), MRMS Vertically Integrated Ice (VII,                    100%), ProbWind
Bottom Right: MRMS 0-2km Merged Azimuth Shear, MRMS 0-2km Rotation Tracks 60-minute          accumulation (35% Alpha), ProbTor

The nice thing with this display is that you can quickly sample any of the objects to get details on what is going on with any given storm to keep situational awareness.

Yeah, that’s a lot of text on the 4-panel but each one is specific to the threat in the pane and the ProbSevere (top left) is a bit of everything mixed in.  So far, it has worked with all convective modes we’ve seen so far in the Testbed.
