Today's scheduling challenge: A Category 3 thunderstorm was approved for the Central European corridor at 14:00 UTC. The stakeholder meetings were done. The safety sign-offs were filed. Lightning was authorized. At 13:47, a rogue cumulus formation drifted into the corridor from the south. Unauthorized. Unscheduled. Carrying its own moisture payload that would have caused flooding if combined with our planned event. We had 13 minutes to reroute a thunderstorm. ⏰ We did it in 11. That's not in the delivery metrics. But it should be. #RainScheduling #PrecipitationOps #11Minutes
