Q 2. What level of learning objectives does this question measure?
You are a TV meteorologist on a network 10 p.m. newscast in the Philadelphia PA area. Your main concern is the potential for snow during rush hour (7 a.m. to 9 a.m.) of the next morning.
At 5 p.m. your time, you reviewed the previous hour’s radars, surface observations, and corresponding forecasts of simulated composite radar reflectivity and lowest level reflectivity from the 18 UTC NAM/WRF-NMM run that day.
Given the data in these afternoon graphics, how would you assess the NAM forecast from 18 UTC valid at 21 and 22 UTC? Choose all that apply.
a. The composite radar reflectivity indicates that the NAM is too slow developing precipitation in eastern North Carolina (C)
b. The composite radar reflectivity indicates that the NAM is too fast developing precipitation in south-central Virginia
c. The observations indicate that the NAM is too slow developing precipitation in south-central Virginia. (C)
d. The observations indicate that the NAM is correctly developing precipitation in south-central Virginia.
