Description:

In Technical Attachment No. 76-17, we presented performance statistics for our flash flood watches based upon varying forecast lead times (time of observation minus issuance time of forecast). Once the concept of lead time is introduced, the questions and answers about forecast performance are not as straightforward as they would be without this additional factor. Here are two valid questions that can be posed and answered: 1. What is the performance of our flash flood watches for various lead times? 2. What is the performance of our flash flood program given various lead times for our flash flood watches?
