Typhoon Tip Posted July 1, 2013 Share Posted July 1, 2013 We had a tor warn up here in ayer, and the cell came right over head. The rain kept coming on heavier and heavier, to the point where vis was down to several hundred feet and the street was flowing. But, it was dead calm.... Then the rain started pulsing heavy to moderate, and there was a breeze swaying the tree limbs. It was coming from the NW, which seeing as we are in a deep layer SSW flow, that does imply a bit of rotation into the boundary layer, albeit weak. This is classic LCL height in deep southerly flow scenario. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quincy Posted July 1, 2013 Share Posted July 1, 2013 Was being in the RRQ of the jet a big reason why today produced? Haven't closely looked at what skewed the numbers, but the 18z NAM flared up a relatively high STP field across the area, while previous 12z and 6z runs had nothing that significant: STP fixed layer is based off of SBCABE, SB LCL, SRH and bulk wind shear.

Interesting, maybe the parameter was even a bit more favorable prior to 18z. We definitely had the shear although limited instability..guess it was just enough. Very low LCL too as Tip alluded to.

CT Rain Posted July 1, 2013 Author Share Posted July 1, 2013 Pretty classic mini supercell setup. http://ryanhanrahan.com/2013/07/01/tornado-touches-down-in-windsor-windsor-locks-and-east-windsor/ Not a huge surprise that this was able to happen with small mesocyclones given a modest amount of CAPE and strong 0-2km shear with LLJ moving in.

weatherwiz Posted July 1, 2013 Share Posted July 1, 2013 I was eating lunch during the warning...and I snuck onto my laptop quick and checked meso... It appeared there was some decent instability...at least decent enough given the shear to warrant the possibility. Also, with southerly winds more southerly, channeling up the Valley, the storm motion was more SW to NE...so the cells were flowing more perpendicular to the llvl flow which would certainly further boost helicity locally. This is why setups like this are so hard to produce b/c everything needs to come together at the right time and throughout this entire pattern that hasn't happen..until today. But like Steve alluded too, keep giving these setups and eventually something is going to give. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
