Summary
HiResWindow runs being upgraded to run at ~5 km resolution without calls to parameterized convection
Thoroughly tested in 3 recent experiments in 2003-2005 and applied to both warm & cold seasons
New configuration produces better guidance on convective initiation, evolution and mode as well as extra detail for phenomena critical to local weather
NCEP Service Centers recommend implementation
NWS Regions recommend implementation
Request NCEP Director concurrence to implement
