Discussing SATCAST at EFP Briefing

After the active convective day on Monday May 24, SATCAST results were presented to at today's 3pm EFP briefing. Several examples were shown were SATCAST performed well and some weaknesses of the algorithm. Some of the dryline activity over TX was not nowcasted by the algorithm because of the strong growth rates of the convection over the GOES temporal resolution of 15 minutes. There was some good discussion about GOES-R 30 second rapid scan and whether that high temporal resolution is useful for the SATCAST algorithm.
