EFP simulated satellite evaluation

EFP QPF group discussing simulated WV imagery from the 00Z run of the NSSL-WRF on 17 June 2010

Today in the EFP's QPF group Dan Lindsey led a discussion on the comparison of the simulated satellite imagery from the NSSL-WRF to that which was observed over the past few hours (see image above). They used this simulated satellite imagery to determine the accuracy of the current 00Z NSSL-WRF model run for the day. It was determined that is is missing some convective development down near NE and IA, but that the main threat area up near MN is being captured fairly well. This provides them with confidence that the model should handle the rest of the day's development fairly well.
