The NOAA Hydrometeorological Prediction Center (HPC) collaborates closely with the Satellite Analysis Branch (SAB) to enhance precipitation forecasting accuracy. This partnership provides vital satellite data and regular briefings to HPC forecasters, aiding in the development of Quantitative Precipitation Forecasts (QPF) for Days 1-3. The integration of advanced satellite-derived data, including infrared imagery and microwave sounder information, plays a crucial role in predicting excessive rainfall and winter storm impacts.
