In EOR at @AMS_AIES: "Using machine learning to predict convection-allowing ensemble forecast skill: Evaluation with the NSSL Warn-on-Forecast System" doi.org/10.1175/AIES-D-23-01…

Can we use AI to predict thunderstorm evolution?
Recently published in @theAGU GRL, we refactored @GoogleDeepMind's GraphCast for regional modeling and trained it on @CIWRO_ / @NOAANSSL's archived Warn-on-Forecast System (WoFS) data.
Meteorologists are turning to AI as a quick, efficient alternative to traditional weather prediction algorithms.
Now researchers including @MontePhD & @corey_potvin have extended this tech to cover localized extreme weather as well as global forecasts. eos.org/research-spotlights/…

🤖 How can AI help scientists predict thunderstorms faster? 🤔
A new paper from NSSL and @CIWRO_ discusses how WoFSCast, a new AI-powered model, can accurately predict how storms will evolve up to two hours in advance. ⛈️

🚨 New paper! 🚨 Available in EOR is our paper exploring training AI models on MRMS MESH vs. reported hail sizes: journals.ametsoc.org/view/jo…

🌪️🌩️ Studying tornadoes in the field has always been at the heart of the NSSL mission. With roots in the 90s, the VORTEX-USA project continues to blaze a trail in tornado science with the ultimate goal to protect lives and property.

Huge kudos to @MontePhD for leading this awesome work! AI will undoubtedly play a major role in NWP at all scales.
🚨 Exciting Announcement! 🚨
Introducing WoFSCast: our AI-powered system for predicting thunderstorm evolution at watch-to-warning scales. 🌩️⚡

🤔How can science provide more warning when 🌪️tornadoes threaten?
The Warn-on-Forecast System, equips forecasters with critical information between watches and warnings, enabling them to give longer lead times in the face of severe weather and tornadoes.

Our paper on the usefulness of the "WoFS-ML-Severe" products examined during the 2022 HWT-SFE is available in EOR. This paper explores subjective verification, objective verification, and qualitative analysis of the participant's feedback. journals.ametsoc.org/view/jo…
I believe this is the first published application of machine learning to predicting storm-scale forecast skill. This work motivates additional applications of ML to predicting forecast skill, including at larger scales / longer lead times.
