weatherpsycho Posted March 13, 2012 Share Posted March 13, 2012 Idk if there was a little more instability in place I would have higher hopes for us in SEMI. Either way though I'll be happy just hearing some thunder. Yeah this setup would have been prime for us in SEMI more toward May(or after). Sun would still be out & instability would be much higher right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
L.B. LaForce Posted March 13, 2012 Share Posted March 13, 2012 Followed storm from Mt. Pleasant to Coleman. Got bombarded with heavy pea sized hail just south or Rosebush. Never saw anything real concerning though. Coleman had some nice 0.75"-1" hail on the ground that had been there for 15 mins or so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

weathergy Posted March 13, 2012 Share Posted March 13, 2012 Ehh as I stated earlier not enough instability for today to really get exciting. Only one warning in the whole watch box This is just beginning. If you look at the radar, there's clearly weak rotation in most of these cells. Sure it may not be that impressive, but the threat of quick spin ups of weak tornadoes will be ramping up here in the next few hours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stebo Posted March 13, 2012 Share Posted March 13, 2012 I wouldn't write off a tornado potential for the rest of the evening but I think this is transitioning to a wind/heavy rain potential more than anything. Those embedded circulations will be where you will find your enhanced areas of winds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Powerball Posted March 13, 2012 Share Posted March 13, 2012 Any severe weather with this event is a bonus. I'm certainly not expecting any either. Now when May and June com around, then I'll get more excited and boost my expectations. The closest thing I've had to severe weather was March 27th in 2007, when penny-size hail mixed in with some rain. That occurred after a high of 81*F with dewpoints in the 60s during peak heating as well. Meanwhile, I'll be perfectly satisfied with a rumble of thunder and a flash of lightning.

weatherpsycho Posted March 13, 2012 Share Posted March 13, 2012 Yawn! That was anticlimactic. It was just some wind & rain. This morning's stuff was more exciting. Not a flash of lightning to be seen. Oh well not very often this is even a possibility on March 12. I hope we have many more storms coming in the weeks & months to come.

High amount of CIN and absolutely no instability left in the air means these things are just dying out. Maybe some hope to the southern most storms in NW Ohio where the best helicity is but even that's a stretch folks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
