Bow Echos
Often Associated with Strong Straight Line Winds Known as “Derechos” • Can reach 100 -150 mph • http: //www. youtube. com/watch? v=EGJm. Oe DEBtw • Great Derecho Website: http: //www. spc. noaa. gov/misc/Abt. Derechos/d erechofacts. htm

High Resolution Numerical Prediction of Convection
Explicit Convective Prediction • Requires high resolution (4 km or less grid spacing) • Requires high-resolution analysis of current situation, using radar, surface observations and all other assets. • NCAR (WRF model) and CAPS (Oklahoma, ARPS model) are two leading efforts.
Bow Echo and Mesoscale Convective Vortex Experiment Using the WRF Model Goal: Study the lifecycles of mesoscale convective vortices and bow echoes in and around the St. Louis MO area 10 km WRF forecast domain 4 km WRF forecast domain Field program conducted 20 May – 6 July 2003
