For the first hour, our IND team has been issuning warnings on a storm that just entered the west side of their CWA – mostly for hail.  They will continue as that CWA

We’ve moved out LMK folks to PAH (Paducah) CWA, as storms are now affecting that area.  The floater domain does not cover the Missouri counties of PAH’s area, but that is ok, since most storms have cross the river now.  We may eventually move them back to LMK later today.

Technical note:

Thanks to generous help of Jordan Gerth and Ben Baranowski, we have finally licked the slow loading issues with our experimental grids on AWIPS!  The NFS mounted eSATA drives were running block size restrictions on data transfer, and we increased that rate.

Still going with our previous setup.  Storms E of DEN are still looking good:

Well, we’ve pulled the old switcheroo again.  We now have Frank and Dan N focusing on CYS and moved Dan D over to BOU where Pat and Andy are stationed.

Storms are actice with plenty of hail and what appeared to be a tornado via streaming webcam near the CO/WY border.

We will consider going a bit over the 02z ending time that we normally have since initiation was a bit late and the storms are interesting.  We will try to remember to give enough time to do surveys without holding everyone too terribly late.

Kevin Manross (EWP Weekly Coordinator, 7-11 June 2010)

We have switched Pat from CYS to FTG and added Andy to that team as well.  Frank is finishing out a warning with CYS and will jump on beard with Pat and Andy shortly.  Dan and Dan reamin waiting for storms to enter GLD, which should do so soon.

Kevin Manross (EWP Weekly Coordinator, 7-11 June 2010)

We started off with “Team Dan” in the BOU CWA, but switched them to the GLD CWA since it appeared more likely for CI with the satellite product.  “Team Frank & Pat” have remained in CYS and have issued a few warnings by now.

As I type, there is a tornado watch that covers FTG and GLD.

As we keep situationaly aware of what what VORTEX2 is doing, we will be wrapping up operations in the next five minutes and ask the forecasters to take three post-event surveys (GOESR/pGLM/MRMS)

Kevin Manross (EWP Weekly Coordinator, 7-11 June 2010)

Pat, Dan D and Andy have switched from OHX to BMX since storms are leaving/affecting those areas, respectively.

Frank and Dan N are currently remaining with HUN, but we’re prepared to switch over to FFC if the weather dictates.  We will resume ops shortly after a pizza break.

Kevin Manross (EWP Weekly Coordinator, 7-11 June 2010)

Hooray – live pGLM (LMA) data!!

Frank has done an interesting combination of pGLM data with IR satellite.

Kevin Manross (EWP Weekly Coordinator, 7-11 June 2010)

We are about to transition from archive mode to warning ops.  Dan D and Dan N are finishing their archive work with a discussion with Geoff while Andy and Pat start looking at the Nashville (OHX) CWA making use of the pGLM data.  Frank is focusing on the MEG CWA, and is going to attempt to issue warnings using no single radar data.  We wish him well!

We will set Dan and Dan up with the HUN CWA where they can also make use of the live pGLM data.

It should be noted that we asked Lak to come down for a brief discussion about the lightning density products with Pat, Frank and Andy.  He helped to explain the product and its intended use.

We will consider a dinner break alternative shortly.

Kevin Manross (EWP Weekly Coordinator, 7-11 June 2010)

We have Pat, Dan D and Frank on ‘higgins’ and ‘tupelo’ operating in the ICT CWA.  Andy and Dan N are on ‘moore’ and ‘plainfield’ issuing warnings in the TOP CWA.

Both MRMS and GOES-R products are being examined

We are having the teams split and do a dinner break in shifts to keep warnings ongoing.
