Eskimo Joe Posted July 3, 2014 Share Posted July 3, 2014 Pretty lackluster mid level lapse rates across the area...probably will be the limiting factor for severe today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlaskaETC Posted July 3, 2014 Share Posted July 3, 2014 Premature bust calls belong in the banter thread, not in a discussion thread. Especially when you cannot back up your reasoning. A lot of posts in this thread without reasoning. The radar looks unimpressive, and so does shear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adelphi_sky Posted July 3, 2014 Share Posted July 3, 2014 I'm at 96 with a dewpoint of 75. Toasty. Finally got my rain gauge fixed. Looking for some good rains today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SmokeEater Posted July 3, 2014 Share Posted July 3, 2014 A lot of posts in this thread without reasoning. The radar looks unimpressive, and so does shear.It's only 2pm, with clusters of storms to the west. What more do you want, a full blown outbreak at 9am? Your mind is already made up though, it "felt" like a bust to you an hour ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StudentOfClimatology Posted July 3, 2014 Share Posted July 3, 2014 A lot of posts in this thread without reasoning. The radar looks unimpressive, and so does shear. Radar looks fine, and so does the shear vector...should allow storms down SW to make better NE progress today Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ian Posted July 3, 2014 Author Share Posted July 3, 2014 Might be good enough for some "meh" storms. GTFO unless you are going to add something useful.

AlaskaETC Posted July 3, 2014 Share Posted July 3, 2014 GTFO unless you are going to add something useful. It's like you've never seen storms anywhere before. By nature truly severe weather is isolated way more often than not. I grew up in Vegas, seen plenty of them. Since when was I not allowed to post an opinion? Am I lacking fancy professional and blog titles in my signature? "Meh" forecast is my call. I will be happy to post again if I am wrong. If that bothers you, don't read my posts. Somewhat hypocritical to call out negative forecasts when plenty of people trolled the snow threads. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
