24-hour thermal couplet detections and severe reports for 25 May 2010In today's EWP daily briefing, Wayne Feltz and I showed the 24-hour thermal couplet and severe storm reports maps from the UW-CIMSS website. The thermal couplet locations correlated well to locations of reported tornadoes, especially along a track through western KS (see above). The thermal couplet detection product has been brought in to the N-AWIPS system for the SPC and EFP as of yesterday, but we still have yet to be able to provide it within the EWP's AWIPS system. We attempted to make the changes today, but a power outage thwarted our efforts and has yet to be restored. We will be monitoring this throughout the evening and hope to have this working by tonight.
The plan for the day is to start with a pseudo-GLM archive case for two of the forecasters, while the other two monitor real-time weather in OK. We will adjust for interesting weather as is occurs...
