Bozart Posted April 14, 2012 Share Posted April 14, 2012 A buddy just told me he was watching a rain-wrapped tornado near Smith Center. After he gets done with that one I'm gonna try to get him far enough east to catch that Russell supercell as it makes its way up the line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ICEHOCEY77 Posted April 14, 2012 Share Posted April 14, 2012 CONCERNING...SEVERE POTENTIAL...WATCH POSSIBLE VALID 141823Z - 142030Z THE THREAT FOR SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS INCLUDING TORNADOES MAY INCREASE THIS AFTERNOON...AND THE ISSUANCE OF A TORNADO WATCH IS POSSIBLE. CONVECTIVE INITIATION MAY BECOME OF INCREASING CONCERN INTO MID-AFTERNOON OWING TO A FEW APPARENT MESOSCALE PROCESSES: 1. LOW-LEVEL ASCENT ALONG A N-S-ORIENTED DRYLINE FROM THE ERN TX/OK PANHANDLES ACROSS W TX THAT WILL SLOWLY MIX EWD DURING THE NEXT COUPLE OF HOURS...AND MAY AID IN STORM INITIATION. SFC WINDS HAVE SLIGHTLY VEERED WEST OF THE DRYLINE DURING THE LAST HOUR...SUGGESTING THAT THE DRYLINE MAY BE MODESTLY SHARPENING WITH AN ATTENDANT INCREASE IN LOW-LEVEL ASCENT. THE CUMULUS FIELD JUST EAST OF THE DRYLINE APPEARS TO HAVE BECOME INCREASINGLY AGITATED PER RECENT VIS SATELLITE IMAGES...WHICH COULD EVOLVE INTO DEEPENING CONVECTION. STRONG HEATING AND DEEP BOUNDARY-LAYER CIRCULATIONS JUST WEST OF THE DRYLINE WILL ALSO AID IN INITIATION. 2. A SECONDARY MOISTURE GRADIENT IS NOTED 30-50 MILES WEST OF THE DRYLINE...WITH ATTENDANT ASCENT AUGMENTED BY AN EWD-MIGRATING...SUBTLE MID-LEVEL SHORTWAVE TROUGH CROSSING THE AREA PER WATER VAPOR IMAGERY. HIGH-BASED CUMULUS IS DEVELOPING OVER THE CNTRL TX PANHANDLE WHERE THE MID-LEVEL ASCENT OVERLAYS THE SECONDARY MOISTURE GRADIENT...AND THESE FEATURES MAY FOCUS INITIATION IN THE ERN TX PANHANDLE DURING THE NEXT FEW HOURS. 3. A DIFFERENTIAL HEATING ZONE IS NOTED OVER WRN OK FROM ROGER MILLS COUNTY SWD TOWARD WILBARGER COUNTY TX. THE VERTICAL CIRCULATION WITHIN THIS ZONE OWING TO DIFFERENTIAL DIABATIC HEATING AND DIFFERENTIAL VERTICAL MIXING RATES COULD ALSO FOCUS CONVECTIVE INITIATION THIS AFTERNOON. THUNDERSTORMS MAY ERUPT ALONG THE AFOREMENTIONED FEATURES BETWEEN 1930 AND 2100Z. IF CONVECTIVE INITIATION OCCURS...STORMS WOULD RAPIDLY BECOME SEVERE. EFFECTIVE BULK SHEAR MAGNITUDES OF 45-55 KT WILL FAVOR RAPID EVOLUTION TO FAST MOVING SUPERCELL STRUCTURES. WITH 531 M2/S2 OF EFFECTIVE SRH ACCORDING TO THE 17Z NORMAN RAOB...AND A LARGE DEGREE OF STREAMWISE VORTICITY IN THE LOWEST 0.5 KM...TORNADOES...SOME STRONG...WILL BE OF CONCERN...CONTINGENT ON THE INITIATION OF STORMS. THE MORE SUBSTANTIAL THREAT FOR STRONGER TORNADOES WILL BE NORTH OF THE RED RIVER...WHERE THE ISSUANCE OF A PARTICULARLY DANGEROUS SITUATION TORNADO WATCH WILL BE POSSIBLE. THE THREAT COULD BE SOMEWHAT LOWER SOUTH OF THE RED RIVER...WHERE LOW-LEVEL SHEAR MAY NOT BE AS STRONG AND CONVECTIVE COVERAGE NOT AS GREAT. ULTIMATELY...THE ISSUANCE OF A TORNADO WATCH WILL BE CONTINGENT ON AN INCREASINGLY APPARENT UPTICK IN CONVECTION...FOR WHICH SOME UNCERTAINTY REMAINS. SATELLITE AND OBSERVATIONAL TRENDS WILL CONTINUE TO BE MONITORED...WITH A WW...OR PERHAPS MULTIPLE WATCHES...POSSIBLY BEING ISSUED BY MID-AFTERNOON. ..COHEN.. 04/14/2012 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
