Ed Lizard Posted May 4, 2011 Share Posted May 4, 2011 if ian dies during this chase can i have his admin position? I thinks its a rule, residency in VA, MD or the District of Columbia to be an admin. But that cash offer to AmWx for Ian in a tornado U-Tube, like Reed Timmer, only braver, still stands. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ellinwood Posted May 5, 2011 Author Share Posted May 5, 2011 Right now we're planning a couple of sight-seeing things for tomorrow, with high anticipation for what's coming up next week... could be the best system to chase all season! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ed Lizard Posted May 6, 2011 Share Posted May 6, 2011 We're prob going to TX for some see text action. I was just looking at some West Texas NAM soundings for the fire thread in the subforum. Now, the good news, is ground level is above 900 mb out there. The bad news, NAM LCLs are above 700 mb out there, and the FST T-Td spread was about 20 degrees. Celcius. Might get some good lightning pics, and maybe be the first to call in a fire to the county sheriff. Oh, I still have the sounding on my puter.

Ed Lizard Posted May 6, 2011 Share Posted May 6, 2011 MAF AFD sounds exciting... DISCUSSION...A WEAK UPPER LEVEL DISTURBANCE MOVING ACROSS EXTREME SOUTHWEST TEXAS WILL GENERATE ISOLATED TO WIDELY SCATTERED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS MAINLY WEST TEXAS TODAY. WITH DEWPOINT DEPRESSIONS OF 40 TO 60 DEGREES DRY LIGHTNING AND VIRGA BOMBS WILL BE A CONCERN THIS AFTERNOON AND EARLY THIS EVENING. TEMPERATURES WILL WARM TO ABOVE NORMAL THIS AFTERNOON AS A SURFACE LEE TROUGH BECOMES ESTABLISHED. ANY CONVECTIVE ACTIVITY SHOULD DIE IN THE EVENING WITH LOSS OF HEATING.

Ed Lizard Posted May 6, 2011 Share Posted May 6, 2011 I have been to the oil lease behind this hill on Interstate 10 not too far from Bakersfield, TX. They had beautiful facilities, but the perm was all fracture related, and it would have been an awful waterflood candidate. Still, it is the scenic highlight of I-10 East of Fort Stockton...

Ed Lizard Posted May 6, 2011 Share Posted May 6, 2011 Still a See Text w/ 5% hail and wind probabilities. I can only guess what a 'virga bomb' is, but 40 or 50ºF dewpoint depressions and clouds based more than 10,000 AGL, there has to be a cool photo of blowing dust in there somewhere... ...WEST TX... AN ARRAY OF STORM SCALE GUIDANCE CONTINUES TO SUPPORT THE DEVELOPMENT OF DEEP CONVECTION ACROSS THE HIGHER TERRAIN TO THE WEST OF PECOS/FORT STOCKTON LATER TODAY. DESPITE ONLY SUBTLE INDICATIONS OF LARGE SCALE ASCENT ACROSS THE AREA...WEAK RETURN FLOW AND DIFFERENTIAL HEATING MAY BE ADEQUATE FOR TSTM INITIATION IN WEAKLY CAPPED AND INCREASINGLY UNSTABLE REGIME. ISOLATED LARGE HAIL AND/OR A SVR WIND GUST APPEAR POSSIBLE FROM LATE AFTERNOON INTO EARLY EVENING BEFORE CONDITIONS BECOME HOSTILE TO SUSTAINING TSTM DEVELOPMENT IN THIS AREA.

Ellinwood Posted May 6, 2011 Author Share Posted May 6, 2011 Ed, please keep the thread more on-topic and concentrated with our chase stuff. ----- We're on our way to the See Text area to get some thunderstorm structure and lightning shots. With luck we'll hopefully be in the storm action from 4-5pm until the sun sets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ed Lizard Posted May 6, 2011 Share Posted May 6, 2011 ed's posts have been on topic The I-10 picture was a little gratuitous. But all that forecast sounding stuff, the 650 mb cloud bases, 30 or 50 degree dewpoint depression, the dry lightning stuff, that was all for the benefit of the chasers. The fire in the Davis Mountains is finally 100% contained, if they want some alpine t-storm action, and any increase in elevation increases the chance they actually see rain.

Ed Lizard Posted May 6, 2011 Share Posted May 6, 2011 On topic, GFS looks depressingly dry in the Day 3 hatched area. NAM pops a few storms, but the forecast soundings hour 60 from the NIU sounding generator show high cloud bases/big T/Td spreads. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
