The System for Convection Analysis and Nowcasting (SCAN) is an integrated suite of multi-sensor applications which detects, analyzes and monitors convection and generates short- term probabilistic forecast and warning guidance for Severe Weather and Flash Floodsautomatically within the National Weather Service's (NWS's) Advanced Weather Interactive Processing System (AWIPS). The goals of SCAN are (1) to provide forecasters with accurate, timely, and consistent severe weather and flash flood guidance, (2) to develop "smart" computer displays, menus, and GUI's that optimize the utility of the principle AWIPS user display (called D2D), (3) to maximize linkages with the Interactive Forecast Preparation System (IFPS) and AWIPS warning interfaces, (4) to develop multi-sensor databases to support the verification of thunderstorm, severe weather, and flash flood forecasts/warnings, (5) to supplement forecaster event monitoring with multi-sensor, automated event monitoring, and (6) to accelerate the rate of technology transfer from research to operations. SCAN will benefit NWS operations by providing longer lead times on warned events, reducing the number of missed events, increasing forecaster situational awareness, reducing forecaster fatigue during warning situations, allowing for rapid improvement in implemented techniques, and providing a well-defined focus for applied research. This paper presents an overview and status of the operational implementation of SCAN within AWIPS through Version 2.0 which includes the functionality of the National Severe Storm Laboratory's Warning Decision Support System (WDSS)
