Description:
Nocturnal thunderstorms present one of the most difficult summertime forecast problem in the region around the Missouri River Valley. Climatologically there is a favored development zone for these storms running northward from central and eastern Kansas to eastern North Dakota and Minnesota. After these storms have developed they often grow into MCC's and impact significant portions of the country. Forecasting nocturnal thunderstorms is not easy. In fact, the development and testing techniques to forecast these storms was a major emphasis of the 1985 Pre-Storm Project. The proposed STORM-Central Project will further explore this problem. However, we cannot wait for the results of such experiments. We must do the best we can at forecasting these storms with today's knowledge and data.
