CapitalKid Posted April 14, 2012 Share Posted April 14, 2012 Great job following these storms and providing commentary on what's happening. I'm going to continue to refresh this page to keep learning and aware of what's happening. My thoughts and prayers go out to the individuals who will be affected by these dangerous storms tonight.

Memphis Weather Posted April 14, 2012 Share Posted April 14, 2012 OUN Aviation AFD suggests NW OK cells are it for discrete activity in their CWA - focus then shifts to line late tonight... THE CURRENT SEVERE CONVECTION IS UNLIKELY TO AFFECT ANY OF OUR TAF SITES OTHER THAN KVNX THIS EVENING...AS WE EXPECT THE CAP TO REMAIN TOO STRONG FOR STORMS TO FORM MUCH FARTHER S THAN THE CURRENT STORMS. A NEW CONVECTIVE LINE IS FORECAST TO FORM AROUND 15/0500Z AS A COLD FRONT OVERTAKES THE DRYLINE AND PRESSES E ACROSS OK AND N TX. THIS LINE IS LIKELY TO AFFECT ALL OUR SITES BY THE TIME IT EXITS TO THE E OF KOKC/KOUN AROUND 15/1000Z. SOME BLDU MAY REACH FAR NW OK THIS EVENING...REDUCING VSBYS TO 3 TO 6 SM AT TIMES.

thewxmann Posted April 14, 2012 Share Posted April 14, 2012 To those who were underwhelmed, this is why we sjs to give it a couple of hours. Env is ripe. Not calling bust, but if the day ended right now, I'd still be a bit underwhelmed. Not sure about the next few hours since HRRR dissipates supercells and since RUC increases CINH in the warm sector between now and 03Z. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Memphis Weather Posted April 14, 2012 Share Posted April 14, 2012 Does anyone think tonight will be more dangerous then the day so far? Still think KS is going to get worse before it gets better...maybe those NW OK cells. Rest of OK appears too capped now and capping may increase until the cold front approaches which then overtakes the dryline. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CT Rain Posted April 14, 2012 Share Posted April 14, 2012 To those who were underwhelmed, this is why we sjs to give it a couple of hours. Env is ripe. CAPE is a bit underwhelming in Kansas right now though. 23z SPC mesoanalysis has only 1000-1500 j/kg of MLCAPE near the supercells in Kansas.

Memphis Weather Posted April 14, 2012 Share Posted April 14, 2012 Initial theory inside NWC is that low level convergence too weak to overcome weak low-level lapse rates (via Patrick Marsh). SPC may remove OK from High at 01z. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SmokeEater Posted April 14, 2012 Share Posted April 14, 2012 Not calling bust, but if the day ended right now, I'd still be a bit underwhelmed. Not sure about the next few hours since HRRR dissipates supercells and since RUC increases CINH in the warm sector between now and 03Z. You trust the HRRR at this point? How many times has it flip flopped around where the supercells were going to intiate today. Look how well Nebraska and Iowa did today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoastalWx Posted April 14, 2012 Share Posted April 14, 2012 CAPE is a bit underwhelming in Kansas right now though. 23z SPC mesoanalysis has only 1000-1500 j/kg of MLCAPE near the supercells in Kansas. Would think shear will increase more but I think people also need to realize high risk includes hail and wind. It's possible the number of tors may not reach epic levels but we'll just have to see.
