After our day 2 debrief, forecasters began operations as severe thunderstorms were already developing over the OUN and SJT. A common theme from the day 2 debrief, was forecasters really liked the trends captured by ProbSevere. While work continues on getting ProbSevere time series plotting capabilities in AWIPS-II, forecasters are utilizing time series capabilities from the ProbSevere website. Forecasters mentioned they appreciated being able to quickly see how the first storms evolved by using the ProbSevere time series. Also noted by forecasters were strong satellite growth rates and very high CAPE in the hail growth region lending to very rapidly increasing ProbHail values, even before MESH reached 1.00".
