Update:Due to what look to be some additional issues on Jet, likely related to the maintenance already scheduled, it is doubtful that NEWS-e data will be available in real-time today. We hope to at least generate the forecasts on a delay so they can be verified tomorrow for the FFaIR experiment. We hope to return to a normal schedule tomorrow.
Update:Due to some system work on Jet, the NEWS-e forecasts will be likely be delayed today. I will provide a more definitive time estimate when forecasts will start appearing when I can.

Today begins NEWS-e's participation in the Flash Flood and Intense Rainfall Experiment (FFaIR). Domains will be chosen based on the experiment's flash flood focus. Specific products have been created for the experiment so you will see the viewer link below will lead you to the WPC specific page. Forecasts will also begin earlier at 1800 UTC, end at 0400 UTC, and each forecast will be 6 hours long.

Update: There are currently some issues with the MRMS feed that we use to produce our gridded reflectivity observations that are assimilated in the NEWSe. We hope that the issues are resolved soon, but if not, we would expect some degradation in the NEWSe forecasts. I will update if the situation changes, but we already don’t have the reflectivity observations for the 1800, 1815, and 1830 UTC cycles.

The verification plots show performance diagrams of NEWS-e composite reflectivity and UH track skill at 1 and 2 hours of forecast time for (gray) 2017 cases and (orange) 2018 cases. Scores have been computed by comparing composite reflectivity and UH track objects in NEWS-e forecasts to corresponding observations in MRMS data. Forecast objects are considered 'hits' if they occur within approximately 30 km and 20 minutes of an observed object. Scores are aggregated for each member and every forecast issued for a given case and the overall mean is plotted on the performance diagram. Numbers in each marker for 2018 cases correspond to the dates listed in the lower right corner of the left panels.

The above shows the evolution of NEWS-e 90th percentile products of 2-5 km UH at various initialization times, all valid at 0100 UTC. The black star is located just south of Tescott, KS where a supercell produced a large tornado on May 1st, approximately between 0030-0100 UTC.
Update (2:40 PM CDT): Due to complications with initial conditions for NEWS-e's forecast, the normal start time of 1:30 has now been pushed back to approximately 3:15. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause.

Welcome to the 2018 NEWS-e realtime season! You are receiving this email because you have shown interest in staying up to date on NEWS-e realtime activities. These emails are planned to be sent out regularly during realtime operations to inform you of NEWS-e's current running status, the chosen domain, and any technical issues, such as a delayed start.
We are excited about the improvements and changes that have been made since the 2017 season but it is important to remember that NEWS-e is still an experimental system and issues are still expected along the way.
A new web interface to view the NEWS-e forecasts was implemented at the beginning of this month. So, if you have not changed the URL bookmarked on your computer, the new URL can be found below.
Throughout the severe weather season, if you found NEWS-e particularly useful, interesting, or disappointing, we would love to hear about your experiences. Please feel free to email myself or patrick.skinner@noaa.gov with these comments.

Today's domain is centered over Columbus, OH. Due to a lack of severe weather, this domain was chosen to hopefully capture convection within the general thunderstorm contour issued by the SPC.
Assuming a normal operating schedule, we will aim to include information on the previous forecast's verification.
