GRID CHOICE FOR ETA PRECIP FORECASTS

These are the forecasts of 24-hr total precipitation both valid at 00Z 1/26/00 from the 18Z cycle on the 24th. The top plot is the output on the 32 km Eta grid 221, while the lower is the output on the lower resolution (varying from 83-93 km) grid 104. As expected, there are differences in the displays of the precipitation gradient along the east coast, but they are not significant enough to affect the analysis of this case.
