Due to the GOES-13 outage and not operating in a LMA, GOES-R demonstration products had limited use yesterday. However, the WRF simulated satellite forecasts were utilized.
The WRF simulated satellite forecasts seemed to do pretty well with the placement of the larger synoptic-scale...but not as well with some of the isolated convection...especially across PA.
There was a storm that initiated in the simulated satellite forecasts along Lake Ontario early in the afternoon along the lake breeze and no others until later on past our shift across western NY...this seemed to verify well.
Note from the EWP coordinator:
Action will be in the TX Panhandle and W OK on Thursday for our last
operations shift of EWP2013. A mid morning MCS over OK may leave an
outflow boundary in the eastern PH. As the upper level ridge axis moves
to the east, a more favorable deep layer shear profile will emerge, with
a chance for supercells. Large hail will be the main threat, but
tornadoes cannot be ruled out. Good opportunities for CI produvt and
PGLM product evaluation also exist.
Possible CWAs: Lubbock, Amarillo, Norman
One more note from me...the following products are unavailable today for the HWT forecasters to evaluate due to the GOES-13 outage: GOES-R Convective Initiation, NearCast, and Sounder RGB Airmass. Products available to the forecasters will be PGLM, WRF Simulated Satellite Forecasts, and Cloud-Top Cooling.
