What is the need that the HiresW and HREF are created to meet?
Provide a view of how the forecast changes with time at greater spatial and temporal resolution.
Provide an ensemble forecast based on all high resolution models currently in use by NCEP.
Provide hourly 3-km convection forecasts to complement other deterministic models that parameterize convection.
Provide an ensemble forecast based on greater spatial and temporal resolution.

When and how can the HiresW be used in the forecast process?
HiresW can be used whenever the weather situation requires the use of high resolution guidance.
HiresW can be used as a tool to smooth discrepancies in gridded products among different forecast offices.
HiresW is used at the end of the forecast process to determine the location and timing of hazardous weather events.
HiresW is used immediately prior to viewing HREF guidance in order to gauge how well individual ensemble members depicted the weather situation.

HREF can be used to correct problems in the gridded suite of products after downscaling input from coarser models.
HREF can be used to obtain more precise estimates of the location and timing of a weather feature than is available from coarser ensembles like NAEFs.
HREF can be used when the weather situation requires an estimate of the uncertainty in the placement of synoptic-scale weather features.
HREF can be used when the weather situation requires an estimate of the uncertainty in the placement of small-scale weather features.
