SPC First Moderate & High Risk Climatology

[rdale]

You know what would be outstandingly phenomenal, but likely way too much work...is have a GIS type system were you can have lots of 'layers' that include everything from visual sat., radar, metars, surface analysis, reports, and many more products overlaid with the various risk maps

Unless I'm missing what you're asking, that is what software like GEMPAK and GREarth does.

Great work Patrick.
It would be interesting to see a map of all the slight, moderate and high risks combined.

Definitely! The struggle for me will be finding time on my computer to crunch the numbers. I'm doing this in between processing jobs for my dissertation research. I can justify a 5 minute or 10 minute delay as "taking a break". Processing the SLGT risks alone takes closer to an hour! However, I'll see if I can't find the hour necessary in the next day or two.

I was thinking he wanted more of a historical aspect. I don't know how to do archived playback in GREarth. I also don't know how to get archived SPC products into GEMPAK (albeit, I've never tried.)

 

[rdale]

Ahh see... Not in GRE, but GEMPAK can if you run the SPC text through the converter.

In the coming days I'll work on doing high risk days. This number should be a bit more intuitive.

I didn't read closely enough...

I actually did something like this for a GIS class I took last year. Check slides 20 and on of this slide show.

Thought this would be a SDS pick the day of the first high risk for 2011 thing. Too bad it's not, I woulda picked May 16th.

First mod risk at the end of february for Central Texas Predicting no high risks in 2011.
