Abstract

The National Convective Weather Forecast version 2 (NCWF-2), an evolving software system that provides probabilistic one and two hour newscasts of convective storm location and intensity is described. NCWF-2 combines meteorological observations, feature detection algorithms and Rapid Update Cycle (RUC) numerical weather prediction output to provide routine newscast of thunderstorm position. The steps in newscast generation include calculation of motion vectors based on RUC winds and storm tracking. NCWF-2 maps the lightning data to a 4km grid by summing the number of strikes that occurred in the past 10 minutes within 8 km of each point.
