Atmospheric Favorability for Severe Weather
Based on NWS Model Guidance (WRF, Workstation
Eta, and RUC)
The Atmospheric Favorability for Severe Weather images (AFS)
are based on model data, showing the areas most and least favorable
to support strong thunderstorm development. The Derived Precipitation
Probability Index (DPI) images are derived directly
from short term models run at WFO RLX and are QPF based. DPI shows areas
most and least favorable for measurable precipitation based on the models.
