After a quiet start yesterday forecasters did get some weather to work with later in the evening, mostly out in Texas but were also watching some clusters of storms up the western Great Lakes. Check out the feedback below:
- 'The CI product was more in its element yesterday because [we were watching] a nice, defined band of cumuls and it was easier to see the trend in the signals.'
- 'The CI product was much more accurate in Western Texas then it had been previously in the NW US.'
- 'The CI did well showing the trend on the line in Western TX.'
- 'The CTC did well in storms with strong updrafts, but got fooled by cirrus blow off on several occasions.'
- 'There were several instances where there were no CTC detections at all but you could see the storms developing beneath the cirrus shield.'
- 'Despite being about an hour off, the simulated IR did very in showing where the severe storms were in NE Iowa.'
- '[The Simulated Imagery] was really good. It showed the cluster in Iowa and also downplayed what we though would happen further north.'
- 'The RGB was a really neat tool and showed the various airmass boundaries in SW Texas.'
Today we'll doing a 1-9pm shift and are already seeing some convection right over our heads here in Norman. Focus areas today will be the DFW CWA where there is a slight risk and also, with the chance (finally) for some lightning activity, the OUN CWA.
