Abstract
This work investigates three different approaches to nowcasting rainfall for highways. The simplest method is based on using the observed precipitation field at the beginning of the trip. The most developed nowcast is based on a COTREC nowcaster, which is dynamically adjusted to online raingauges. The nowcasts are performed with a lead time of up to 2 h. The average speed on Danish highways varies between 110 and 130 km/h. As a result, the performance of the nowcast is dependent on the direction of the precipitation and the direction and speed of the road users, as well as the type of precipitation
