We
have received a good deal of complaints about high NBM PoPs and QPFs
over southwestern states and mainly NW Mexico. We put in a patch
on May 11th that mitigated that to a large extent, but not
completely. There appears to be a good deal of non-zero QPE working
its way into the analysis that doesn't appear to be realistic.
Here
are some recent URMA QPE images that show the issue with a ring of
very high (and not correct) QPE along the coastline in NW
Mexico including Baja CA.
I
am not sure who owns CMORPH. I would be happy to send this
feedback to the CMORPH keepers if that would help.
