Cost benefit would have to outweigh what we get from lower level water vapor which seems to do a pretty good job at figuring out precip in areas with poor radar coverage. At a higher resolution for the surface and column then yeah, it should be vastly better, but if it is still distilled down to 9km then I wouldnt expect any change.

@MossMan I just remembered. While I may not be there for that I have booked a Holland American, Inside Passage cruise for this June. She turns 80 and my wife turns 60. Gonna be a great trip with my wife’s sister and brother in law. Gonna take the White pass railway and a boat up the glacier on the Tracy Arm, and if the crowds allow hopefully the gondola up the mountain in Juneau. But, yeah I would like to in KC right now.

How DARE he

Beat me to it, but 100% this the more I think about it. We also have the AIFS out to 360hrs 4x a day now too. It existed last winter, but wasn't on Weatherbell and got largely ignored iirc.
