Abstract
The overall objective of this study is to use the GPS Integrated Precipitable Water (IPW) data at Blacksburg VA (BLKW) to predict significant convective rain events capable of producing flash flooding. It is found that for frontal events there is a long lead-time; summer time convective events have short lead times. The wintertime GPS-IPW behavior is very similar between stations under suitable transformation of data. The methodology shows potential in gaining lead-time for significant rain events.
