EXPLANATION OF SPC SEVERE WEATHER PARAMETERS Rich Thompson - Storm Prediction Center The SPC utilizes all available surface observations, in combination with short-term forecasts from the Rapid Refresh (RAP) model, to generate hourly mesoscale analyses of various parameters related to severe thunderstorms and tornadoes. base heights are best estimated using the Craven, J.
