EWP Operations Update – Wednesday 6/4 – 6:00 pm

After a few hours of operation in the Louisville, KY (LMK) CWA, it became apparent that severe weather is unlikely there.  Thus, we chose to move that team (Fowle & Anderson) west toward Springfield, MO, where a mesoscale discussion had been issued for hail and wind.

However, not long after that, it became apparent that the capping inversion would hold there.  So, we decided to move again – this time, to the Cheyenne, WY CWA, where convection is ongoing.  Our hope is that we will be utilize the outer extent of the Denver lightning mapping array.
