Weather Forecasting Platform

This platform has been created to aid forecasters in identifying whether the critical ingredients and parameters necessary for specific weather phenomena to occur are present or not.

Unorganized Airmass Convection

Ingredients, parameters and thresholds defining environments favorable for airmass thunderstorms and pulse storms

Organized Convection

Ingredients, parameters and thresholds defining environments favorable for organized convection, including dynamic squall lines, bow echoes and supercells

Severe Straight-Line Winds

Ingredients, parameters and thresholds defining environments favorable for severe convective straight-line winds associated with thunderstorm cold pools (Rear-Inflow Jets, bow-echoes, downbursts, microbursts)

Large Hail

Ingredients, parameters and thresholds defining environments favorable for large hail

Tornadoes

Ingredients, parameters and thresholds defining environments favorable for tornadoes (supercell and QLCS tornadoes, not fair-weather waterspouts)

Flash Flooding

Ingredients, parameters and thresholds defining environments favorable for prolonged heavy rainfall susceptible to produce flash flooding

Winter Weather

Ingredients, parameters and thresholds defining meteorological elements critical for winter weather forecasting
