MESO GREMLIN Struggles w/ Initiation + Parallaxing

CONUS did better than the Meso sector with initiation throughout the majority of the event.

OCTANE did phenomenal with detecting the stronger storms, once again. I felt that I had ample lead time after hearing back regarding LSR’s from the storms I warned on. Following this, we noticed some pretty noticeable parallax issues with GREMLIN with respect to the warnings I issued.

I wonder how this would impact warning operations in areas where radar coverage is limited or nonexistent. Would this result in a higher POD and FAR for those offices as they’d likely have to draw larger polygons to account for this? Can this be fixed?
