- The Expansion of Partial County Alerting for NOAA Weather Radio and the Emergency Alert System
- Date posted
- 12 months ago
- Description
- Tim Schott, the NWR service lead, and his team will present the Partial County Alerting Webinar. With a NOAA Weather Radio network reaching 97 percent of the US population, five WFOs successfully implemented Partial County Alerting (PCA) for one or more of their counties. PCA implementation means users receive fewer warnings on NWR Specific Area Message Encoding (SAME) receivers and TV, radio and cable systems monitoring NWS warnings can make more targeted decisions on when to interrupt local programming. Existing PCA capabilities are moving into AWIPS beginning in 2023, along with additional dissemination enhancements. This webinar will be of interest for offices with geographically large counties; counties with unique shapes; counties with distinct weather patterns; and counties with population concentrations and particularly where there have been complaints of too many EAS alerts.

- Forecasting Organized Severe Storms: Lecture 4 - Final Considerations
- Date posted
- 5 years ago
- Description
- In this section, Ariel Cohen addresses the various convective hazards that emanate from organized, severe storms. This effectively links the meteorological assessment of convective mode and propensity for convection to be surface based with hazards, which serves as a foundation for related Impacts-based Decision Support Services. A discussion of tornadogenesis emanating from both supercells and quasi-linear convective systems is highlighted in this section. This section culminates with a discussion of the relationship between the assessment of convective hazards and Convective Outlook designations, philosophical elements of Convective Outlook preparation, along with a discussion of General Thunderstorm forecasting.

- Forecasting Organized Severe Storms: Lecture 3 - Mode/Intensity/Impacts
- Date posted

- Description
- In this section, Ariel Cohen explains how to anticipate convective mode, based on the orientation of convection-initiating boundaries relative to environmental kinematic profiles. These include considerations of boundary-relative cloud-layer mean winds, deep shear, and anvil-level storm-relative flow. He also addresses ways in which we can assess the propensity for convection to be surface based, leveraging the concept of the effective-inflow layer. This includes an assessment of the residence time of convection within the surface-based effective-inflow-layer air.

- Description
- In this section, Ariel Cohen describes the various characteristics that distinguish three convective-environment regimes addressed in the Day-2 Convective Outlook preparation videos. These include convective threats evolving in a northwest-flow, recycled-moisture regime; with a tropical cyclone; and from a subtle midlevel disturbance. He demonstrates how the assessment regarding organized, severe-storm ingredients can be applied to any regime by performing a detailed investigation of governing conceptual models and related meteorological data.

- Forecasting Organized Severe Storms: Demo 2 - Putting the Pieces Together
- Date posted
- 6 years ago
- Description
- Numerous conceptual models can be employed to identify severe-storm threat areas, and each of these conceptual models can be linked to signals amid the observed and numerically simulated synoptic and mesoscale environment. Knowledge of complex theoretical topics -- such as lapse-rate advection's manifestation on the local thermodynamic profile, and mesocyclone-maintenance and tornadogenesis theories -- can greatly aid forecasters in interrogating environment-depicting datasets to identify specific clues relevant to accurately expressing severe-storm potential. This segment will specifically address details and detection of meteorological environments favoring superposition of ascent and buoyant air, especially that characterized by surface-based effective inflow offering the greatest severe-thunderstorm potential.

- The cyclonic perturbation aloft and its interaction with antecedent baroclinicity explain the mutual overlap of moisture, lift, instability, and vertical wind shear supporting organized severe thunderstorms. This basic interaction is typified in numerous variants of recognizable patterns that the forecaster can use to assess severe-weather potential. This segment will specifically address the basic necessity for ascent to overlap with buoyant air in support of severe convection.
