Major Severe Weather Outbreak November 17


Recommended Posts

personally, I am thinking if they go with the upgrade, I think we all know the area we'd go with, but they won't do the upgrade til the 13Z update, once they see the initial radar, satellite, and the 12Z raobs (meaning the 13z update comes at like 1315-1330). but they won't wait until 1630z, given the area where we're thinking it'll happen, with the metros involved.

 

I sorta wonder if they're more likely to pull the trigger on a high risk at 6z for this type of system rather than a springtime one.  A setup with such favorable dynamics and respectable if not good mid level lapse rates doesn't need a ton of surface heating.  I'm reminded of 10/26/10 when they went high risk at 6z.

I think they will go high at 6z, it will be for wind, the tornado through good will probably not be in the high category initially, though could end up there by the 1300z outlook.

Getting more concerned about a dmg. wind threat further east into OH and PA into the overnight too.

Yeah I would agree, the interesting thing is the instability doesn't drop off too quickly from 21z and you won't need much to bring down the winds that are expected to be just off the surface.

not sure if you need another short-term model system in here. but for this weekend outbreak, John Wetter from Hopkins HS moved his hop-wrf domain over into the risk area for all 4 members of his composite. I think he runs it for the comp-sci and earth science classes over in Hopkins MN.

details on what each of the 4 members in this suite are on the page.

FWIW, the only High Risk this year (June 12) was in some of the same areas that could possibly have one Sunday.

Wow, I actually thought that may have been an update for the day 1 outlook for today at first, that is pretty strange. Also strange that that area was the only one in a high risk this year...
