As a broadcast met...AWIPS is overwhelming to use. Still getting familiar with seemingly endless uses!
Our team watched over the Wilmington WFO. SPC just issued a mesoscale disscussion of 5% for a watch (around 2:30pm). Expecting isolated severe storms...not really organized this evening.
One storm in particular my team is watching has been increasing in lightning strikes and in the probsevere for wind and hail. As well as precipitation rate that seems to be increasing. Suggestion for another probability option in AWIPS, a probprecip. Showing probability for flash flooding. I also couldn't get the lightning data to map over the radar.
Still watching the other storms holding together. Minimal probabilities for severe and not trending either way at this time.
2:26pm the storm was showing a 74% chance for probhail. Then started to collapse to 5% probhail by 2:46pm.
