1. INTRODUCTION
Ensemble forecasting – or the creation of multiple,
concurrently valid forecasts from slightly different initial
conditions, from different models, or by using different
options within the same model – has become the
cornerstone of operational global numerical weather
prediction (e.g., Kalnay 2003). Extensions to the
regional scale have been underway for some time (e.g.,
Brooks et al. 1995; Hamill et al. 2000), though as for
global models, mostly in a framework of hydrostatic
dynamics and model grid spacings that do not explicitly
resolve convective clouds.
During the past decade, increasing emphasis has been
placed on the explicit prediction of storm-scale weather,
especially deep convection, with the WSR-88D Doppler
radar serving as the foundational observing system from
which fine-scale wind, thermodynamic, and moisture
fields can be observed directly or retrieved (e.g.,
Droegemeier 1997). Although storm-resolving (grid
spacings of 1 km or less) non-hydrostatic models show
considerable promise for practicable NWP (e.g., Xue et
al. 2003), probabilistic, rather than deterministic
forecasts, likely will be required (e.g., Brooks et al.
1992; Hou et al. 2001; Elmore et al. 2002a,b, 2003).
To begin exploring ensemble forecasting of deep
convective storms in the context of full NWP (i.e., as
opposed to a single-sounding cloud model), we apply
herein the scaled lagged average ensemble forecasting
(SLAF) technique (Ebisuzaki and Kalnay 1991) to the
prediction of thunderstorms that occurred in north
central Texas on 28 March 2000, and that produced a
tornado in the Fort Worth metropolitan area (Xue et al.
2003). Our goals
