andyhb Posted May 8, 2015 Author Share Posted May 8, 2015 Another monster velocity couplet with this one HP nature of storms may hamper tornado potential (or at least longer lived tornado potential) for the time being. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LocoAko Posted May 8, 2015 Share Posted May 8, 2015 Anyone who sees this tornado SW of Vernon is taking an enormous risk to their own lives.Yeah. We were on it... Incredibly HP. Can't even see a hint of structure from a distance. Very frustrating and stressful on these roads (or lack thereof). Peaced out to Electra to take a breather.

thewxmann Posted May 8, 2015 Share Posted May 8, 2015 Agreeing with Andy here... HP mode will lessen the long track tornado threat for now... Low-level flow is fairly modest so storms will tend towards the outflow-dominant portion of the supercell spectrum for now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UKStormFan Posted May 8, 2015 Share Posted May 8, 2015 Thanks for the replies....question on some terminology? HP tornado? I presume this is one that doesn't drop down for a long period of time and is unpredictable in nature? Rain wrapped or surrounded by Heavy Precip?

I presume this is one that doesn't drop down for a long period of time and is unpredictable in nature? Rain wrapped or surrounded by Heavy Precip? It's a term for the type of supercell. High Precipitation. Tornadoes in these storms can be just as strong and long tracked but are very dangerous because they are difficult or impossible to see.

These storms, and the tornadoes with them, can indeed be very unpredictable. Most often you will not be able to see a tornado associated with these storms until it's too late.EDIT: Ninja'd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I presume this is one that doesn't drop down for a long period of time and is unpredictable in nature? Rain wrapped or surrounded by Heavy Precip? high precipitation. basically, yes rain-wrapped. and the rain is heavy enough to obscure the exact tornado like a curtain. from a chasing standpoint, one to stay a distance from as not being able to see the exact structure other than the rain curtain makes it more a danger than if it was real big but clear as day.
