DTX feed went down from abour 2223z to 2250z.  This affected WDSSIIB (Steve/Bill), though they didn’ catch it immediately since the MRMS data continued to update.  DTX has since returned.

WDSSII (Daniel/Dan) are trying a 4-panel setup with “All-Tilts” REF, “All-Tilts” VEL, MESH and another MRMS product.  They also inquired about the biased corrected MESH.

Steve just noticed that the MESHB values he is looking at is lower than the regular MESH. (less than half inch)

Live Blog – 8 June 2009 (3:27 pm) – Week 6 Preview

This is the last week of the HWT.  Forecasters are:

Bill Ward (HNL), Daniel Nietfeld (OAX), Gail Hartfield (RAH), Steve Keighton (RNK), and Dan Miller (DLH)

Gail had a delayed flight and will be arriving into OKC around 6 pm.

The overall weather outlook this week has a stalled front drapped across OK.  This should provide good potential for the Central OK observing platforms (PAR/CASA/LMA).  We will examine the potential for severe weather outside of C OK for MRMS simply to avoid being too “Okla-centric”.

Musical CWAs. Veronica and Bill have now killed storm in BOU CWA. They are starting up as CYS. Both groups now CYS. Storms in CYS CWA were on the way out but now new storms just going up NW of Cheyenne are looking good. Vortex2 is now heading for that same area.
