A Proposed Model-Based Methodology for Feature-Specific Prediction for High-Impact Weather

Abstract A feature-specific forecasting method for high-impact weather events that takes advantage of high-resolution numerical weather prediction models and spatial forecast verification methodology is proposed. An application of this method to the prediction of a severe convective storm event is g...
