Key Points

The aim is to enhance severe weather forecasts and warnings through systematic experimentation.
Conducted experiments in virtual or hybrid settings.
Held only one completely in-person experiment with Phased Array Radar.
Hosted five experiments across 26 weeks.
Improved severe weather forecasting accuracy for NWS.
Demonstrated the effectiveness of hybrid settings for conducting weather experiments.

Implication

HWT conducts experiments to enhance severe weather forecasts and warnings, indicating significant advancements in meteorology.

Abstract

In 2025, a majority of HWT experiments were conducted in virtual or hybrid settings. Only Phased Array Radar 1 was held completely in-person. The HWT hosted five experiments over 26 calendar weeks in 2025 to improve NWS severe weather forecasts and warnings.
