Yes, is it tricky, this is where I agree with Norman's view on
Nowcasts.

Since 2004 there has been a dedicated Nowcasting bench in the
Operations Centre that orchestrates the issue of Flash warnings in
conjunction with the Chief and Public Weather Service forecasters.


I thought there was a Nowcasting bench long before 2004.


Not specifically. You're probably thinking of the quality control of
FRONTIERS?


Could be. I just have a vague memory of seeing a sign on one of the benches
in CFO/NMC at Bracknell with "nowcasting" on it.
