SouthernNJ Posted March 28, 2012 Share Posted March 28, 2012 The storm southwest of Manhattan KS is also beginning to rotate a bit as it attempts to strengthen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OceanStWx Posted March 28, 2012 Share Posted March 28, 2012 To further illustrate the left split (which occurred about a half hour ago) here is a dual-pol aided four panel. You can see three (albeit one very weak) SRM couplets in the bottom left window. One west of Burlingame, one west of Harveyville (both cyclonic) and another north of Eskridge (very weak, and anticyclonic). One the top right window, you can see ZDR at 4.4 degrees (about 5-7kft depending on which cell you are sampling). You can see three ZDR columns, indicating where the respective updrafts are. I have placed the red marker on top of the left split updraft, while the other two are again west of Harveyville, and Burlingame. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OceanStWx Posted March 28, 2012 Share Posted March 28, 2012 The storm near Scranton is actually trying to gets its act together in the lower levels now. Weak, but slowly organizing meso at 0.5 degrees now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SouthernNJ Posted March 29, 2012 Share Posted March 29, 2012 The storm near Hamilton and Madison KS looks pretty dangerous right about now. What a nightmare for residents of Madison. A supercell, virtually stationary, producing hail between golf ball and CD sized (3 inch diameter) for about 30 minutes without let up over the town. Already numerous reports of automobiles and structures damaged (some significantly) due to the hail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
