NaoPos Posted May 25, 2011 Share Posted May 25, 2011 Things could change, but it would have to change quickly to get the type of radar signatures we had between 21Z and 22Z. Yeah, i'm not sure what the deal is with Sups going linear and then back to discrete again. Pretty sure once they go linear, because of the backing wind field, they normally don't go back discrete. Anyone with more knowledge than me, please chime in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone with more knowledge than me, please chime in. i think it's more that you still retain some supercell structure within the line, and increasing llj might help them spin harder again. if you look at vis sat you can see a few dots up the line with overshooting tops indicative of pretty powerful storms embedded still.

The storms that hit here in NC on Apr 16th went from a mostly linear line to a line of several discrete cells once the LLJ caught up to it.

CUmet Posted May 25, 2011 Share Posted May 25, 2011 The storms that hit here in NC on Apr 16th went from a mostly linear line to a line of several discrete cells once the LLJ caught up to it. The difference is that this setup is more strongly forced, and the wind profiles are more messy in the mid-upper levels. I don't think the discrete structures are coming back north of I-40.

Srain Posted May 25, 2011 Share Posted May 25, 2011 srain, the one headed toward the dfw airport is a giant! Strong rotation and 1.75 hail, but watching as nothing so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
L.B. LaForce Posted May 25, 2011 Share Posted May 25, 2011 Mesoanalysis indicates significant backing of winds between 700-500mb, which would explain the linearization of storm mode the past hour. Could help eastern OK out as the event progresses. Yeah, here is the Haskell, OK profiler: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian Posted May 25, 2011 Share Posted May 25, 2011 Strong rotation and 1.75 hail, but watching as nothing so far. rotation is definitely not as impressive as stuff earlier in OK currently.. must be a pretty cell to be on the outskirts of as the sun sets tho.

NaoPos Posted May 25, 2011 Share Posted May 25, 2011 Didnt' we see this earlier this year? maybe the SE outbreak where a supercell developed into some sort of MCV and had the tornado couplet behind the bow? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
