Grant H. signing on for the first blog post of the first day of the HWT. In learning about the GOES Convective Initiation (CI) tool, I felt this might be a good first place to start. CI seems to be the most useful in hunting down areas where convection will begin over the first 2 hours of and event. I can see this being good from the warning coordinator\/mesoscale forecaster perspective in making decisions on where\/how to divide up\/sectorize radar mets in ops.\u00a0 The stuff off to the left over eastern Nebraska in blue has a very low probability of initiation around 10 to 20 percent. Meanwhile, the cumulus field over the southeastern Wyoming in the Cheyenne area is reaching up to 50%. This helps to force focus to the locations of interest. I do see some problems here in that the algorithm has troubles IDing areas that transition from stratus to cumulus or from cirrus with cumulus embedded underneath such as in northwestern Nebraska&#8230; very little CI color is showing up, other than the sheared area in this image.<\/p>\n<p>Grant H.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Good afternoon all.
