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. ⛈️ 📝: inside.nssl.noaa.gov/nsslnew…

🌪️🌩️ 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. 🌪️ UP CLOSE: inside.nssl.noaa.gov/nsslnew…

WoFSCast is the first AI system trained and developed to emulate a sub-hourly convection-allowing weather model (CAM). WoFSCast speeds up forecast generation versus WoFS by at least a factor of ten, from minutes to seconds. #AMS2025

Monte Flora: Future of storm-scale AI: generating large-member (100+) hi-res (~1-km) ensemble forecasts in seconds. AI system in the WoFS framework already can produce “closely matching” forecasts with far less computational burden than #WoFS (far faster). #31sls

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. 🌩️⚡ essopenarchive.org/users/829…

Our paper combining AI/ML, storm-scale ensemble prediction, and "forecasting forecast skill" is now in final form in @AMS_AIES: doi.org/10.1175/AIES-D-23-01… Co-authors: @MontePhD, Patrick Skinner, @tonyreinhart, @BrianWxFLA

🤔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. inside.nssl.noaa.gov/nsslnew…

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.
