Superstorm93 Posted November 17, 2013 Share Posted November 17, 2013 That whole line has the potential for some strong, but quick spin-ups judging by the notches starting to take shape. Extremely dangerous (needless to say) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weatherwiz Posted November 17, 2013 Share Posted November 17, 2013 Can forward speed be factored into a tornadoes wind speed as it can be in hurricanes? It definitely can have a positive influence on straight line damaging wind potential Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

weatherwiz Posted November 17, 2013 Share Posted November 17, 2013 While the activity is certainly becoming more linear in nature the threat for tornadoes and strong tornadoes will certainly be there. There are numerous breaks within the line which are exhibiting strong rotation given the degree of helicity present. The southern flank of the line certainly needs to be watched as well given this is the area certainly most favorable for tornadic development. The environment may also be favorable for spinups right along the gust front as well (or just along the leading edge of the line. The activity though is beginning to move into an area where instability is much less so the thermodynamics aren't the same. While shear continues to be as impressive, the loss of a stronger thermodynamic environment could lead to weakened updrafts and given how strongly sheared the environment is, updrafts may not have the strength they once did so it may be difficult to generate mature supercells like we have witnessed. Regardless, even if the potential for tornadoes (or stronger ones) decreases the potential for widespread damaging winds will absolutely be there.
