baroclinic_instability Posted April 27, 2011 Share Posted April 27, 2011 The hi-res models are all over the map right now, with the HRRR and SPC-WRF showing considerable morning convection pretty far south, while the RUC has nothing. I don't think the RUC will be right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fred Gossage Posted April 27, 2011 Share Posted April 27, 2011 I don't think the RUC will be right. I don't either... but I'm not quite sure the SPC WRF is right with the morning convection being as widespread and organized as it shows. Everything in the activity north of the Louisiana supercell cluster is weakening... and this is going to make it harder and harder to get a large MCS with an organized cold pool... especially as capping increases ahead of these storms overnight. This will also make it easier for them to gain latitude as the mid/upper winds become more SW to NE as the trough deepens overnight and into the morning. I think there will be convective remnants... but I think the SPC WRF is too organized with it... and too slow (when looking at earlier panels, it's a few to several hours behind reality... and this is a very common bias in the model... with non-discrete convection). I think a halfway medium between the RUC and SPC WRF is probably the right way to go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thewxmann Posted April 27, 2011 Share Posted April 27, 2011 A few honest points, as I do respect your opinion quite a bit. I don't think you can say that yesterday and today underperformed (unless you were expecting a lot more). Yesterday ended up being a pretty decent outbreak with quite a few tornado reports, and today as well. The weakness of today's event (the weaker low-level wind field) was highlighted indirectly earlier, when it was stated that the timing of the trough was a bit slow, resulting in a weaker low-level response. Regardless, I am not a fan at all of the philosophy "the first day ended up underperforming, therefore the second day is more likely to underperform as well". Personally, I tend to treat every day as an independent event, because that's what they really are for the most part w.r.t severe weather. New geographic area, new instability/shear parameters, new storm mode questions, new morning precip issues, etc. I don't think we'll have a problem of too many storms interfering with each other tomorrow. Unlike today, there is a clear focus for convective initiation, and given that the deep-layer shear vectors are perpendicular to the boundary (think April 15-16), it will ensure a sustained discrete supercell mode. There are questions regarding the extent of morning convection and its impact on the warm sector instability, but even the latest NAM run as Tony said is destablizing things very quickly following the passage of the first cluster. If there isn't a major tornado outbreak tomorrow, the morning convection is most likely going to be responsible. Given the extreme rarity of seeing a strong mid-level 100 kt jet streak punching through a moist, unstable warm sector, with cyclogenesis ramping up the low-level wind fields and skyrocketing the helicities...the strong language used by me and many other mets regarding this event has been and is 100% justified. I try my best not to hype things up, and I'm brutally honest when I say I don't like a particular setup for reasons x,y,z. On the other hand, I know potential when I see it, and I have to be honest when I say that this might be the best outbreak setup I've seen in the dozen or so years I've been following severe weather. Whether it actually verifies that way or not, we'll just have to see... Good points. I am by no means saying tomorrow will not be a big outbreak - there is definitely a high likelihood that it will be. All I am saying that with all the small mesoscale things that have gone "wrong" these past few days, it might pay to be cautious, especially since everyone is on the same bandwagon right now. Yeah day 1/2 doesn't affect day 3, but it is a good reminder of what can possibly go "right"/"wrong", and it is true that forcing has been stronger and initiation earlier than predicted on each of the days. Since tomorrow's event is associated with the main energy, it is logical to believe that forcing will be even stronger, and so we can make very crude comparisons with these past couple of days. And I am somewhat concerned about the high temperatures across the SE tomorrow... LCLs will not be very favorable if temperatures rise above MOS guidance. And we all have to consider what if destabilization doesn't occur in time if forcing maintains numerous convection over the relatively uncapped areas of the TN Valley. Anyway, just offering a second opinion here, since I've been hearing "big outbreak" across the boards from almost everyone in the know. Certainly not ignoring that, but as always convection is convection... and I always start with the philosophy of finding things that could go wrong. I usu don't post it when everyone has a shared consensus (for obvious reasons, as seen in earlier posts in this thread), but psychologically I do feel more bearish than usual on a forecast if the latest High risk just underperformed. And you are one of the best so of course I know you are not trying to hype things up. It is justified for sure. However with a setup that looks extremely good on paper, with numerous forecasts out there talking about an outbreak... it won't take much "letdown" for forecasts to be seen as overblown... .thus reason why I am bearish.

The latest HRRR run that goes out to 17z probably represents my own thoughts pretty well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm usually one of the first to pick on you when we have a higher end threat, and I know you've seen some very ominous comments from me on other forums today.... but I understand and really respect this more conservative approach... especially when we do have mesoscale questions that need to be answered. However, the one point I want to make about the early initiation.... is that both of these cases so far... have been along west to east oriented boundaries... and it's extremely easy to get initiation in these cases, as compared to along a more north to south oriented boundary... because, most of the time, you have a better chance at EML advection overtop the warm sector in the more north to south scenario. It's an understandable concern, but it may not be quite as comparable. At any rate... especially with convection just upstream... I definitely understand the conservative approach... but with several ongoing things that are leaning away from the convection developing into this big cold-pool driven B.S.... there are some times, as we've seen before, when you just don't need to ignore the synoptic environment that is ultimately driving the mesoscale. I'm sure most people thought, by 4 pm, last April 24th... that the Alabama portion of the HIGH would be a bust... but we had an EF4 and multiple EF3s that night.

Stebo Posted April 27, 2011 Share Posted April 27, 2011 I would think the southern area (TN, AL, MS) is pretty much a High Risk slamdunk. No I would agree, I was just stating if there was anything that would cause them not to go High, it would be that. I personally would go high for S. KY south into MS/AL.

thewxmann Posted April 27, 2011 Share Posted April 27, 2011 Hey thanks for the support Fred... I know you are definitely doing your best to inform the people on the other forums... and that of course requires a different approach than informally chatting about this. You do bring up a good point that initiation is easier to do on a W-E boundary. Not only do mixed layers propagate W-E and thus can overspread a N-S boundary, LLJ trajectories often lie more orthogonal to E-W boundaries which maximizes forcing there. But I'm still a little cautious. Nevertheless, I believe it forcing was only a small part of the equation these past few days, as the weak low-lvl flow today and higher LCL heights yesterday were bigger factors. However, it would've been better for the storms to have more separation in either case... especially since a less contaminated warm sector would've supported damaging tornadoes as the low-lvl flow strengthened and LCL heights lowered in the late evening. My point overall was trying to illustrate that forcing could potentially go wrong given the strong dynamics of this system and the weak capping north of the AL-TN state line. And yes, I'm a big proponent of the synoptic-driving mesoscale approach, which is why tomorrow should not be a total bust, and that at the very least we ought to see a MDT-sized outbreak. I'm just bearish on this being a very large, damaging outbreak, but of course I'm not saying it won't happen either. (And yes, I really thought AL on 4/24 was a bust by late afternoon, very surprised when I logged on that night and saw that a last round of sups initiated and dropped those damaging tornadoes.)

baroclinic_instability Posted April 27, 2011 Share Posted April 27, 2011 Good discussion thewxmann, CUmet, Fred, tornadotony, etc. Going to be an interesting forecast for tomorrow no doubt. I don't think large convective cold pools will be a large worry by the afternoon in this flow regime and the strength of the low level theta-e inflow. The bigger questions, imo, seem to be on the synoptic scale flow and the way the models handle the upper pv anomaly and how it ejects north tomorrow afternoon and evening and the associated upper level jet configuration and associated mesoscale circulations/low level mass response (and subsequent hodograph curvature). I wouldn't be surprised if SPC holds on a high until tomorrow when some of the synoptic and subsequent mesoscale forcing details are better known. That said--seems that a high risk will be highly possible over portions of TN and northern AL at some juncture. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VAwxman Posted April 27, 2011 Share Posted April 27, 2011 I was pretty sure when I woke up I'd see a few posts questioning today just because Tuesday was perceived as an underperformer, though you guys wound up making it into a pretty good discussion. In my view, Monday did not underperform. Tuesday may have been less than expected, but the best parameters were never supposed to come together until late in the evening, which isn't the most favorable time of day, and by then enough stuff was already out there that you got more of a "mess". Today has always, to me, looked the most favorable, if we get the current convection out of the way, so we'll see what happens. Hopefully for all in its path it will underperform, but no one should let their guard down just because of yesterday (to be fair I don't think anyone here said that though).
