downeastnc Posted April 29, 2014 Share Posted April 29, 2014 I agree. Either tomorrow or Wednesday, I bet we'll see a mod risk for the area. The key part to take away from the afternoon write up from RAH....this is for Wed. basically we are primed to spin updrafts and it will be one of those days where radar indicated vs ground truth ratios will be high.....BUT we need the sun to jack up the instability to produce those updrafts......also any differential heating we get due to left over MCS rain or cloud debris etc will also help in priming boundries to focus convection on. If we get periods of filtered sun or out right sun Wed it could be a rough day for a lot of NC/SC.....nothing like 2011 but still a decent outbreak by our standards. WITH UPPER DIVERGENCE MAXIMIZING OVER THE ERN HALF OF NC LATE IN THE DAY. PROVIDED THAT TUE NIGHT`S CONVECTIVE DEBRIS CLOUDS CAN CLEAR OUT OF CENTRAL/ERN NC BY MID AFTERNOON AND ALLOW FOR SOME INSOLATION... WE MAY ACHIEVE MUCAPE VALUES OF 1000-2000 J/KG COINCIDENT WITH DEEP LAYER SHEAR OF 30-40 KTS. FORECAST HODOGRAPHS REMAIN BROADLY CURVED WED WITH 0-3 KM HELICITY OVER 200 M2/S2... EHI EXCEEDING 2.5... AND VGP OVER 0.3 M/S2... SUGGESTING ROTATING UPDRAFTS ARE A GOOD BET GIVEN ENOUGH ASCENT VIA DYNAMIC AND THERMODYNAMIC PROCESSES. WILL CONTINUE TO HIGHLIGHT THE SEVERE THREAT FOR WED AFTERNOON/EVENING FOR ALL OF CENTRAL NC... FOR THE POSSIBILITY OF DAMAGING WIND- PRODUCING BOWING SEGMENTS AND/OR SUPERCELLS PRODUCING A FEW TORNADOES. EQUALLY AS CONCERNING IS THE THREAT FOR REPEATED BOUTS OF TRAINING CONVECTIVE BANDS/CLUSTERS GENERATING EXTENDED PERIODS OF HEAVY RAINFALL...
