NECT Posted February 18, 2011 Share Posted February 18, 2011 As I was driving, I could have sworn I saw a couple flashes on my drive home. My first thought was that the flashbacks I heard about 20something years ago were actually happening... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

weatherwiz Posted February 19, 2011 Author Share Posted February 19, 2011 How in the world did every model miss this? The Ruc still doesnt have it This is one of those setups where the models really aren't going to pick up well I don't think. I didn't really look at models at all for today so I don't know what they showed but I imagine they had to hint at this...strong lift, enough moisture present, probably good lapse rates, some elevated instability.
