Challenges

• Data Quality– Observational data

Dense network of surface & upper air Reporting inconsistent

– Job ticket dataRely on field crews and service reps Filtering storm related damage

Challenges

• Weather and impact model– Thunderstorm forecasting

– Proper inputs (gusts, soil moisture, foliage, etc)

– Correlation between data inputs

– Incorporation of “Black Swan” events

• Utilization– Build trust

– Delivery of complex information

– Integration with company procedures

Summary

• Deep Thunder weather forecast– Better results than other sources in Westchester day to day

– More analysis of specific events for accuracy

• Deep Thunder impact model– Not enough events for clear determination

• Weather Community– Collaboration

Key StepsModelling

– Meteorology: apply more sophisticated physics to enable improved forecasts with up to 72 hours lead time (e.g., WRF-ARW)

2 km resolution across entire extended service area for 84 hours

NAM/RUC for background and boundary conditions

WSM 6-class microphysics, YSU PBL, NOAH LSM, Grell-Devenyi ensemble, urban canopy model

Assimilation of WeatherBug data for initial conditions

– Outages: spatial-temporal modelling to enable predictions of damage

Dissemination– Tailored weather visualizations available via a

web browser, which are automatically updated for each forecast cycle

– Storm classification and outage estimation– Uncertainty visualization for operational

decision making– E-mail alerting system 2 km6 km18 km

Modelling Extreme ValuesDistribution of daily maximum gust speed shows a highly right skewed tail which indicates a Gaussian distribution assumption does not hold

Generalized extreme value (GEV) distribution have three parameters, which controls the location, scale and shape of a distribution, respectively

Use a GEV distribution to model daily maximum gust speed given a daily maximum wind forecast, while location parameter and scale parameter are spatially correlated

Modelling Process

The goal is to obtainBayesian Hierarchical Modeling Data Process:

Location parameter and scale parameter are location dependent

Model set-up: Bayesian Hierarchical Modeling Latent Process:

Prior set-up and derive posterior distributions of the parameters

Use Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) to draw posterior samples and stop after convergence is achieved
