Thundersnow12 Posted May 2, 2012 Share Posted May 2, 2012 continued attempts just northeast of Grand Island, NE. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baroclinic_instability Posted May 2, 2012 Share Posted May 2, 2012 I always wondered if that was something that changes automatically once a certain reflectivity threshold is met? No it needs to be switched manually. usually for severe weather almost every office will use VCP 212. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baroclinic_instability Posted May 2, 2012 Share Posted May 2, 2012 continued attempts just northeast of Grand Island, NE. I can see that tower all the way from North Platte. Looking at it from here one would think a large storm is going up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

baroclinic_instability Posted May 2, 2012 Share Posted May 2, 2012 Yup, just turned right, still has broad rotation. Yeah it would prolly be a good idea to get a Tstorm warning on that for Mankato since 45,000 people live there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

baroclinic_instability Posted May 2, 2012 Share Posted May 2, 2012 And they went tor instead. I was wondering if they were waiting for another scan or what they were doing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

baroclinic_instability Posted May 2, 2012 Share Posted May 2, 2012 Storm weakened a little. Actually it hasn't, the core has gone up the past few scans, it just looks ragged on reflectivity and in velocity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

baroclinic_instability Posted May 2, 2012 Share Posted May 2, 2012 I am legitimitely trying to figure out what is taking so long with the warnings. That thing is likely dropping large hail well outside of any polygons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SmokeEater Posted May 2, 2012 Share Posted May 2, 2012 Cell definitely hasn't weakened, 72 dbz about to move into Mankato, gonna get some pretty good hail in town. Actually may miss just to the north. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That thing is likely dropping large hail well outside of any polygons. Seriously, the core is completely out of the TW box, along with the area of broad rotation.
