Ian Posted March 21, 2011 Share Posted March 21, 2011 Wonder if we will get any storms later... or if those in WV now will pass SW of us looks like the main mass would put d.c. on the northern edge though these things tend to bend south a bit over time .. there are a few cells to the north of the main area tho Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ellinwood Posted March 21, 2011 Share Posted March 21, 2011 cell near spencer is pretty wicked.. not much if anything to the lowest level but some rotation in it. almost hookish on regular radar view. Definitely packing a punch... doing a core dump now. Must be some good hail to put out the 70-75 DBZs. ----- The cell just to the WNW of that one looks impressive as well... time to pull out the laptop and fire up GRL3.

Ellinwood Posted March 21, 2011 Share Posted March 21, 2011 The cell just to the WNW of that one looks impressive as well... time to pull out the laptop and fire up GRL3. This cell has tightened up considerably in the last couple of frames... expecting a TOR warn should the circulation hold on the next scan. This cell has just entered WV and is heading toward Ripley.

This cell has just entered WV and is heading toward Ripley. The rotation's weakened, but is still present as it starts to get taken over by the larger line of storms.

mattie g Posted March 21, 2011 Share Posted March 21, 2011 I'd just like to point out that it was 45* with heavy rain and lightning at 6:30 am, and 76* and mostly cloudy at 4:30 pm.

Ellinwood Posted March 22, 2011 Share Posted March 22, 2011 Ellinwood -- Wed evening? Looks decent... air will be too stable locally for any surface-based storms (most likely), but to the S and W where SBCAPE hits 500-1000+ J/kg it could be rather interesting. Jason and I will be looking it over in the afternoon and I'll do a write-up on it. Could be a good chase if the system cooperates. Elevated CAPE looks good enough to initiate/sustain storms in our area, with a hail threat locally. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
