Day one of our Big Spring Experiment and operations are
already well underway.
The focus for today is primarily hands-on training. The forecasters have been asked to examine
all the experimental products and issue occasional blog posts as they see
interesting or note-worthy items. The
goal is to develop a familiarity with both the new products and blogging
process.
Two forecasters (Thoren / Maples) are localized to the
Sterling, VA (LWX) WFO and watching ongoing convection there and areas south
including the Blackburg, VA WFO. The
other forecasters (Rudge / Bickford) are localized to the Cheyenne, WY (CYS)
WFO, monitoring the region for CI.
As the week continues, are focus will become a little more
defined and move to writing mesoscale / forecast discussions and warnings. Expectations are that the probability for
severe convection will increase with each day of operations this week.
