Taking a look at the four-panel image below, you&#8217;ll see the CIRA\/RAMMB NSSL-WRF simulated satellite imagery on the left hand side (IR on top, WV on bottom) and observed on the right (time: 20Z). So far, the simulated imagery seems to have a decent handle on storm initiation near the WY\/NB border in particular, which allows for increased confidence in its forecast, even if the spatial placement isn&#8217;t necessarily exactly spot-on.<a href=\"https:\/\/inside.nssl.noaa.gov\/ewp\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/22\/2014\/05\/1945Z_Sim_Ob_Compare.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-8709\" alt=\"1945Z_Sim_Ob_Compare\" src=\"https:\/\/inside.nssl.noaa.gov\/ewp\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/22\/2014\/05\/1945Z_Sim_Ob_Compare.png\" width=\"1698\" height=\"852\" srcset=\"https:\/\/inside.nssl.noaa.gov\/ewp\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/22\/2014\/05\/1945Z_Sim_Ob_Compare.png 1698w, https:\/\/inside.nssl.noaa.gov\/ewp\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/22\/2014\/05\/1945Z_Sim_Ob_Compare-300x151.png 300w, https:\/\/inside.nssl.noaa.gov\/ewp\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/22\/2014\/05\/1945Z_Sim_Ob_Compare-768x385.png 768w, https:\/\/inside.nssl.noaa.gov\/ewp\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/22\/2014\/05\/1945Z_Sim_Ob_Compare-1024x514.png 1024w, https:\/\/inside.nssl.noaa.gov\/ewp\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/22\/2014\/05\/1945Z_Sim_Ob_Compare-500x251.png 500w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 767px) 100vw, (max-width: 1200px) 60vw, 720px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>The simulated satellite imagery seems to be overdoing it just a bit so it&#8217;s not as helpful if you&#8217;re trying to assess specifics but if you can compensate by interpolating down in your mind&#8217;s eye, it is still a good product to increase situational awareness.<\/p>\n<p>Linda Gilbert<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Getting a handle on the area of interest across southwestern Wyoming and the panhandle of Nebraska, we see a few cells popping up near the WY\/NB border.
