System for Nowcasting of Winter Weather (SNOW) Application
Vienna, Virginia
Introduction
SNOW is an AWIPS application suite which continuously monitors surface
observations for winter weather hazards. It automatically alerts the
forecasters whenever such conditions are detected. SNOW provides
capabilities to display observed winter weather threats in ways that
help forecasters focus on what they consider most important.
What's new: In OB8.3, The “snowflake” icon in Guardian will be enhanced
to list the worst-case values and threat levels which determine the
icon’s color. This will allow users at a glance to find conditions in
their area such as lowest visibility and highest wind speed.
