Description:The 2021 NOAA Hazardous Weather Testbed Spring Forecasting Experiment (2021 SFE) was held virtually 3 May–4 June 2021. SFEs are co-led by the NWS/Storm Prediction Center (SPC) and OAR/National Severe Storms Laboratory (NSSL), and test new severe weather prediction tools, study how end users apply severe weather guidance to forecasting, and facilitate experiments for optimizing convection-allowing model (CAM) ensemble design informing Unified Forecast System (UFS; https://ufscommunity.org) development. Well-vetted virtual meeting tools enabled the most SFE participation ever: 133 forecasters, researchers, and students from around the world. Gathering a diverse community to learn from one another has been a hallmark of SFEs that has continued in virtual experiments. However, science-based discussions and establishing new collaborations are more difficult in the virtual environment. Nevertheless, lessons learned could benefit a future hybrid approach involving both in-person and virtual participation.
