Chinook Posted May 28, 2011 Share Posted May 28, 2011 Hail spike showed up on 0.5 tilt for a while too. This might not be a three body scatter spike. It's not behind the storm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David Reimer Posted May 28, 2011 Share Posted May 28, 2011 Sitting in Litchfield...may have to get out in a bit, I dont want the hail on my windshield thanks. Every chaser should break at least one windshield a year. In fact, I just went through my second. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicago Storm Posted May 28, 2011 Share Posted May 28, 2011 This might not be a three body scatter spike. It's not behind the storm Not the radar beam issue, but there is an acual spike from Perry to Stoutsville in this image. It was visible for 3 scans.

Powerball Posted May 28, 2011 Share Posted May 28, 2011 It looks like a classic ring of fire setup. CAPE values will be 2000-3000 J/KG and LI will be between -5 and -10. Shear values are just enough for the decent storms too with the warm front in the vicinity. The only questions will be how any mesoscale features (outflow boundaries) evovle and how fast the atmosphere caps in response to the rising heights and mid-level temps.
