Mrs.J Posted March 28, 2012 Share Posted March 28, 2012 64 up here with slight cloud cover but sun is still out. Am really feeling the pollen today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scuddz Posted March 28, 2012 Share Posted March 28, 2012 This line doesn't look to be wasting too much time in getting here. Not much in the way of surface instability, but midlevel lapse rates are nice. as well as downdraft cape. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yoda Posted March 28, 2012 Share Posted March 28, 2012 This line doesn't look to be wasting too much time in getting here. Not much in the way of surface instability, but midlevel lapse rates are nice. as well as downdraft cape. Mid level lapse rates are 7.5 to 8.0 C/KM... thats pretty good... but not much else is good Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eskimo Joe Posted March 28, 2012 Share Posted March 28, 2012 Doesn't look like today will produce, but it beats windy and 55 for a high. I miss the 70s - 80s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TalcottWx Posted March 28, 2012 Share Posted March 28, 2012 Mid level lapse rates are 7.5 to 8.0 C/KM... thats pretty good... but not much else is good Lapse rates usually never fail to deliver. Springfield MA event last year had that characteristic. We almost always failed in SNE without it. Least there is forcing and a bit of instability to work with. That cold pool is great too. Probably hail reports today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TradeWinds Posted March 28, 2012 Share Posted March 28, 2012 Vantage Vue picked up a max rainfall rate of 3.95"/hr under the red blob. Of course, when it hits that for a sec, you only end up with 0.13" in the bucket Put down grass seed this week so good rains! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ellinwood Posted March 28, 2012 Share Posted March 28, 2012 Latest runs of the RUC showing improved low-level directional shear in VA in the late afternoon to early evening via stronger 0-3km EHI values. However, with high LCLs up around 1500-2000m I wouldn't expect any storms to become tornadic, even if they do get some rotation. Should make for some hail-rific storms, though.
