Short summary
In this paper we investigate whether similar storms behave similarly and whether the information obtained from past similar storms can improve storm nowcast based on radar data. Here a nearest-neighbour approach is employed to first identify similar storms and later to issue either a single or an ensemble nowcast based on k most similar past storms. The results indicate that the information obtained from similar storms can reduce the errors considerably, especially for convective storm nowcast.
