One thing to know is the characteristics of the source you're using. WV imagery is obviously different from visible and IR. When you're looking at WV, you're looking at the amount of moisture in the atmosphere between about the 700-400 mb level. Upper level lows are seen quite easily in water vapor. Surface features are better seen in IR and enhanced IR, or visible. This is why it is important to look at a number of data sources when forecasting.
