The Experimental Warning Program (EWP) portion of this year's Spring Experiment is now underway. This week we have 4 NWS forecasters visiting the HWT. During the first hour of the day from noon to 1pm the forecasters participated in a short overview briefing and then moved into the HWT to familiarize themselves with the data in AWIPS II. During this time, 2 of the forecasters who were unable to run through the Weather Event Simulator (WES) training case were able to do so. Currently the forecasters are focused over southern TX where a severe threat is currently ongoing. We may not issue any warning tonight as the forecasters are still getting comfortable working in AWIPS II.
