NSSL WRF developed excessive cold pool and surged leading edge of convection too far southeast across Iowa. Initially “slow”
NMM was better with location but intensity was too weak near Mississippi River.

All members identical to SSEF 4 km ARW control run (upper left) except for different double-moment microphysics
schemes. All moved convection southeastward too rapidly.
