Kmlwx Posted July 5, 2012 Share Posted July 5, 2012 There is also a lot of DCAPE. - I get what you're saying but I"m just not sure how your thinking of not a widespread thing is any different than what others are expecting. It's not a "new" idea - SPC even said it would be a "small" cluster at best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bob Chill Posted July 5, 2012 Share Posted July 5, 2012 Question for you severe guys. My knowledge is pretty weak but I'm slowly catching on. I was wondering about organized convection in our area and where it initiates. Do we ever get medium to large sized convective systems that originate east of the apps or do all the bigger ones start in the oh valley / midwest first? Also, unless my memory is getting crappy (and it might be), why does is seem that we get fewer squall lines than we used to? My memory of the 80's seems to remember that it was common to get large lines of storms (stretching from s pa all the way to central va?). Not front related stuff either. Just hot afternoon events. Now it seems like random popcorn seems more common. It might have always been this way. I'm not sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
