CoastalWx Posted July 1, 2012 Share Posted July 1, 2012 Yup... plus shear was sufficient for a number of mesocyclones. That one supercell that moved from Litchfield County to Old Saybrook was a beast. Did you see that OKX VAD I posted earlier? That was nice looking.

Typhoon Tip Posted July 1, 2012 Share Posted July 1, 2012 Umm you want to see a perfect tornado setup in SNE look at the 18z NAM for Wednesday Eh...there may be some directional shear but the velocity differentials are stingy...total helicity wouldn't be the great. I just ran the numbers; the 12z run was better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoastalWx Posted July 1, 2012 Share Posted July 1, 2012 From an instability point of view, Wednesday is big on the NAM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoastalWx Posted July 1, 2012 Share Posted July 1, 2012 SRFC-500mb vectors are pretty impressive in ern areas at 21z. The whole thing is conditional though, as we may have lots of clouds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not to sure if clouds will be that big of a deal...normally during westerly or northwesterly flows aloft clouds aren't an issue for us Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CoastalWx Posted July 1, 2012 Share Posted July 1, 2012 Not to sure if clouds will be that big of a deal...normally during westerly or northwesterly flows aloft clouds aren't an issue for us Well it depends how fast the front is and if any leftover MCS debris hangs around the midday or so. Obviously we don't know that answer at this early stage, but something to think about. Part of me thinks it may not be a problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Typhoon Tip Posted July 1, 2012 Share Posted July 1, 2012 Actually... sorry Wiz' - apparently KTAN is not updating their 18z NAM Bufkit data - it was stuck on a June 30, 2010 file and I verified that is what they are sending from their database - so they need to figure that out. Anyway, below is the screen shot of the 12z for the best interval, 75 hours out, ...21Z. The PM has awesome cape, and up to that point there was a lot of CIN that you can see below rather abruptly "uncaps". That's good for explosive CB genesis, but noticed the Helicity is only a buck-50? The vectors in the graphical area confirm, and this would likely be a straight line outburst type event. Of course, this is just the 12z NAM. The GFS sucked - Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
