Abstract
The NOAA National Weather Service's current capabilities for producing real-time, multisensor precipitation estimates have been focused on providing input to hydrologic prediction models for mainstem rivers and larger headwaters. New functions are now being implemented to produce analyses and short-range forecasts for flash flood prediction operations, using a grid mesh of 1 km and a 5-minute update cycle with minimal time lag. The functionality produces rainrate and rainfall analyses and forecasts from multiple radars, covering entire County Warning Areas. The characteristics of the new High-resolution Precipitation Estimator and High-resolution Precipitation Nowcaster and their output products are described below.
