'New' HRRR Model: AccuWeather Has Been Using it For Years

Many stories similar to this are being published today:
Unfortunately, Mr. Borenstein has the story wrong. The computer model is not new. We've (AccuWeather Enterprise Solutions) been using the computer model in question, the HRRR, for several years. I used the HRRR model to display peak gusts during Hurricane Sandy on this blog.

Here is an example of the HRRR model in its simulated radar reflectivity mode. This is the forecast for 10pm CDT this evening. I have marked the location of the Truman Sports Complex and Royals Stadium for tonight's Kansas City Royals vs. Oakland (formerly Kansas City) Athletics.
Graphic output by Dr. Ryan Maue
It is forecasting a shower over north Kansas City but not over the stadium before 10pm. If the HRRR is correct, the game should be fine unless it goes into extra innings.
