Cheeznado Posted February 27, 2011 Share Posted February 27, 2011 I know a lot of folks are bummed out about winter dying an ugly death- but as far as I am concerned, spring means: severe weather! Tomorrow looks interesting in my neck of the woods, SPCs day 2 has a large slight risk with 30% probabilities: The cold front will be timed well in GA for once- - CAPE is somewhat meager but shear is strong and we should be in the right entrance of the 500 mb jet so things might get at least somewhat exciting. Will be nice to hear thunder in any case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gastonwxman Posted February 27, 2011 Share Posted February 27, 2011 So it seems for us folks in the SE. Hard to believe that earlier this month we were looking at a potential winter event to take place once more in the March 1-2 period and look where we've landed at right now. That's been consistently delayed daily by a day or 2 with every run of the long range especially GFS which now has that potential on the 10th but will more likely than not become too warm or some other scenario occurs. Regardless, I really can't complain about the warm weather we've been having and with meteorological winter coming to a close, it's about time that we entered the Spring period. A lot of us could still use the rain and Monday's severe weather threat ought to help rid of the drought issues. Speaking of the storm potential, I like how with every bit of the new data coming in, the chances seem to have increased for a while now supporting better forcing, and strong shear and increasing levels in instability. Can't rule out that a few areas could see tornadoes with QLCS being the main convective mode, but where the development of those few supercells will occur I can't say. Hopefully we can tap in to more than what Friday's event yielded, which I didn't expect much rain out of but seemed to have done just a bit of justice for some areas. I think we could pick up about half to around an inch of rain with some of the more heavier storms that do roll through dropping a bit more. With that, I say bring on the storminess. We could use a bit of action instead of these long periods of warm/dry days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CandymanColumbusGA Posted February 27, 2011 Share Posted February 27, 2011 It's going to be interesting to see how this unfolds. I have been keeping an eye on it for the past few days. The timing is going to be almost too good to be true, with the system moving through during the warm afternoon hours. The 500 mb jet is just to our north, which means we are in the right entrance quadrant, always a nice thing to see. Even at 925, we have a nice tiny jet-streak wanting to form over northwestern Georgia and move across the state with the line of storms. We don't have much in the way of directional shear, with 925 coming from the southwest and at 500 coming from almost due west. Also, the VV profile has the best lift across northwestern Georgia to begin the event and will move across the rest of the state in the early evening hours. I believe the best chance of severe storms is going to be in the mid-afternoon hours for northwest Georgia, with the line moving through the rest of the state during the late afternoon/early evening hours; providing gusty winds and the possibility of some hail. To sum it up, I think a line of showers and thunderstorms will move through the southeast (as opposed to Friday's system where it gave me about 10 to 15 mins of very heavy rain then was outta here). The timing of the line, at least for Georgia, will be in the mid to late afternoon hours and into the evening the further south and east you live. If we get up anywhere near 80 (I think we will here locally) we could see some very nice storms popping up on radar. I'm anticipating quite a bit of heavy winds and some nice sized hail. (I've never seen hail in my life... and yes I grew up in Florida so pretty impressive or unlucky you pick ) Bring on another day of working all day tomorrow!

eyewall Posted February 27, 2011 Share Posted February 27, 2011 From RAH (They obviously don't agree with SPC). HOWEVER THE BETTER CHANCE POPS...ALONG WITH A SEVERE THREAT WILL BE DELAYED UNTIL THE AFTERNOON THROUGH THE EARLY EVENING BETWEEN 21Z TO 06Z...COINCIDENT TO THE IMPRESSIVE LOWEST 1KM WIND FIELD OF 50-70 KT THAT WILL TRAVERSE THE AREA...TRANSPORTING MOIST AIR FROM THE GOM NORTHWARD INTO THE CAROLINAS. PRE-FRONTAL HIGH TEMPERATURES MONDAY AFTERNOON ARE EXPECTED TO REACH MID TO UPPER 70S ACROSS CENTRAL NC AS THICKNESSES ARE PROJECTED TO PEAK AROUND 1385 TO 1390 METERS WITH DEWPOINTS SURGING INTO THE MID 50 TO LOWER 60S AND PWATS AOA 1.4-1.5"(~300 PERCENT OF NORMAL). THIS HIGHLY SHEARED ENVIRONMENT COULD BRING A THREAT OF DAMAGING THUNDERSTORM WIND GUSTS...IF SUFFICIENT INSTABILITY CAN MATERIALIZE...WHICH IS HIGHLY SUSPECT GIVEN ABUNDANT MID/HIGH LEVEL CLOUD COVER...POTENTIAL CAPPING INVERSION AT AROUND 800 MB...AND SLIGHTLY DELAYED FRONTAL PASSAGE TIMING AFTER PEAK HEATING. EARLY THERMODYNAMIC MODEL ANALYSIS FIELDS SUGGEST MARGINAL MLCAPE VALUES WILL REMAIN LESS THAN 300 JOULES EAST OF THE APPALACHIANS. EITHER WAY...THE STORM PREDICTION CENTER HAS ALL OF THE FORECAST AREA IN THE SLIGHT RISK THREAT FOR MONDAY AFTERNOON/EVENING. WILL CONTINUE TO MENTION THIS THREAT IN THE HWO. GIVEN THE HIGH PWAT AIRMASS AND STRONGER LOW-LEVEL CONVERGENT MASS FIELDS WILL RAISE POPS TO CATEGORICAL IN THE WEST TO LIKELY EASTWARD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, each day brings surprises Candyman, you Fla. folks lead sheltered lives when it comes to the richness of weather offerings, lol. I just hope your first encounter with big hail comes when you are not out in your car, lol, stuck at a traffic light, like happened to me when my car was new. My only encounter with almost baseball hail was in Hampton, but I was able to get under a huge oak, so it saved my windshields..of course a tornado was very possible and being under that huge oak had its drawbacks, but it did cut back on the divots. Marble hail is common, so you should get to see some good hail in the next couple of years, if you are in the right place. T Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EITHER WAY...THE STORM PREDICTION CENTER HAS ALL OF THE FORECAST AREA IN THE SLIGHT RISK THREAT FOR MONDAY To be honest, that's what I'm trying to figure out myself is just how much cloud cover is there going to be tomorrow... If we see sun up until an hour or so before the event we would all be in very good shape of seeing severe wx. BUT, if it's just a muggy cloudy day tomorrow that would put a real damper on temperatures at the surface breaking through the cap. It's going to be interesting to see it all set up tomorrow. Frankly, I'm thinking that we are going to see more clouds tomorrow than I originally thought.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marble hail is common, so you should get to see some good hail in the next couple of years, if you are in the right place. T HAHA! I suppose we do lead sheltered lives, which is pretty remarkable considering our afternoon thunderstorms in the summer. I have only seen ONE waterspout (but I was about 4 and don't really remember it...) I have never seen a tornado, though there have been a few to hit near where I grew up, but they were all at night... Hell, I haven't even truly experienced the brunt of a hurricane (which according to my parents and the rest of the people in the Tampa Bay area a good thing...) The bad thing about living up here now is I don't have a garage to put my car in. So if it does hail, I'm pretty SOL if it's anything significant. Even if I'm at work, the area around my station is treeless.... . It's funny too, because when I had my phone interview for this job, I told the chief I had never seen hail. His response,"If you work up here I guarantee you will see hail." I'm going to hold it to him! Another funny side note is that if I were to ever go chasing... I would probably be the WORST lucked person to do so... I went to FSU and we discovered that there is a so called "Capital Circle Effect" (there has been research done about such circles.. but for some reason Tallahassee isn't considered one... but you go there for four years and you come to believe it) where all the storms rode up and around the road that circles around Tallahassee... Also, with Charley, it was making a beeline straight for the Bradenton area. It took that right turn into Punta Gorda. We only experienced minimal tropical storm force winds along the coast in Sarasota, but you go 50 miles inland and they got hammered! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CandymanColumbusGA Posted February 27, 2011 Share Posted February 27, 2011 WOW! Look at the temperatures and dew points ALREADY! It's only noon! Incredible! Our atmosphere is getting primed for tomorrow! Like I said in an earlier post, if we can have the clouds hold off (we had DENSE fog this morning... that's why I'm only at 63 ) tomorrow morning/early afternoon it could be an active day across the southeast.

CandymanColumbusGA Posted February 27, 2011 Share Posted February 27, 2011 Just updated. Yes, I just noticed that too... It's in line with what I was expecting. The better dynamics are going to move north with the low pressure system, but the trailing cold front will bring some strong storms for many us. As I mentioned above... it's getting VERY warm outside right now... If we have these same temps and just as much sunshine it could be even MORE active.

CandymanColumbusGA Posted February 27, 2011 Share Posted February 27, 2011 http://www.emc.ncep.noaa.gov/mmb/mpyle/cent4km/conus/12/ This shows a pretty strong line of showers and thunderstorms moving through the southeast tomorrow evening. Those in Tennessee will see the worst of the weather as you will be closer to the low and better lift due to the jet. It also keeps the line fairly strong across central Alabama and moving into Georgia (it only goes out 36h). I wouldn't be surprised to see a few cells pop ahead of the line that could cause some trouble around here. Also, have to pray for those out west. This system will be moving through overnight and will be quite powerful! Hope everyone stays safe and everyone is prepared out there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jrips27 Posted February 27, 2011 Share Posted February 27, 2011 I am in dire need of some interesting weather. So I'm rather excited about tomorrow's severe weather . MBY is on the very southern edge of the SPC moderate risk area. If I'm reading their discussion right, it sounds like their could be a few supercells out in front of the main squall line early on. Then the focus should shift to the main line where damaging winds would be the main possibility. Maybe a tornado or two embedded in it. With dew points already near 60oF here the stage looks to be set for some storms. Can't wait! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
